divine creator,
may my soul awaken with a passionate breath
and a deep thirst for yourlove.
let your Divine flame burn in me,
so I may share your light in this darkened world
dear stranger who I have yet to call a friend,
may you be guided on your journey towards
wholeness and freedom.
may we lift each other up on our journey,
when our paths cross instead of turning a blind eye
or too busy to see that one of us has fallen.
may the Divine Light shine in me
may my life speak
may my soul awaken with a passionate breath
and a deep thirst for yourlove.

Let your life speak is a saying within Religious Society of Friends ( more commonly known as Quakers). I attend unprogrammed meetings, which means that we sit in silence and if people are led to share, then they share. I love this form of silent worship, because I am not told to how to experience God or what to believe, but sitting in community and having my own experience which leaves me feeling more connected. I grew up as a son of a Methodist Minister, so it's refreshing to not be told what to believe. I have met Quakers who identify as Catholic, Buddhist, atheist, Agnostic, Jewish, and those who want to remain un-categorized.
