When we pray for Mother Earth, we pray also for ourselves, and vice-versa.
This is because we are ONE with the Earth Mother.
My prayers use to be questions, and requests of Her.
Now my prayers are mostly unspoken.
I seek only to be in communion with the Divine.
Most often, my prayer is simply listening. Listening to the quiet sounds of nature
- the wind rustling the trees, the water lapping upon the lakeshore, birdsong -
Listening to the rhymical sounds of my own heartbeat and breath....
Listening to the sounds of chant, singing bowls or hypnotic hymns....
Listening to Devi Prayer is like floating down a slow moving river on a bed of flowers in the twilight at days end.... My mind is quiet and at peace, my body surrenders to being held, my heart opens - with the rise and fall of each breath.
O! Divine prayerful meditative bliss....
