Prayer Stories
Who we pray to,
what we worship,
these are less important
than what we worship with,
whom we pray with,
and never against.
Yet, who we pray with
feels less important
for global peace
restoring Earth's great
timeless justice,
than whom we refuse
to pray with,
and sometimes,
on our worst days,
insist on judging against
And whom we have
crossed a highway
or mine field
to pray with
is more important
to personal health
and Earth's wealth
than whom we are willing to pray for
only from a safe distance,
and only on our most charitable days,
generously impassioned nights.
How we pray
with mouth
mind
heart
sensory body
hungry gut
passionately rooted soul,
psalms and chakras
of deliberating
dialogical sound,
This primally matters
in reproductive relationship
co-arising animus mundi
in spacious
unspecious anima prayers
with and from indigenous
wisdom for and above
below deep
and wide humanity's
best divine prayers
Passion stories
of how active prayer
embraces intimate narratives
of speciated
sacred
solidarity
Rooted in remembering
who we pray to
remains eternally less important
than whom we cooperatively
compassionately play with,
and never ugly against.
