A Prayer for Courage & Creation

The performance will go on, regardless.

From the place of courage and the place of staying, let us make an invocation. Let us call on support known and unknown. Seen and unseen.

Not to do something for us. Rather, to move through us. To help us set our meager inheritance aside. To help us remember the larger Inheritance that is…encompassing.

Threading through imagined space and imagined time. Tethering what we call Source to what we call soul. Or something different. Some other name.

Names don’t matter, in the end. Wherever we go or do not go, they do not come with.

Even in the here and now, they are…irrelevant. A utilitarian distraction that is not utilitarian at all. An advancement that outside the narrowest of frames is…rudimentary.

When we exist and create from a place of names, the result is…vanity. When we allow existence and creation to move through, the result is…emergence.

Offering expression to what wants to come forth, we are not the Creator but, rather, a channel. That is all. That is everything.

I do not say this from a place of being here always. From always finding courage or always staying or always getting out of the way.

I do say it from a place of certainty. From a place of knowing that staking our claim to The Truth and The Universe is…absurd. That surrendering self and names and rightness will happen…anyway.

We can spend our instant of life railing against it…or celebrating our place in the grand performance.

The performance will go on, regardless.

So, an invocation. Let us find even a little more courage. Let us show up even a little more fully. Let us engage this world with reverence and wonder.

All that we see. All that is not yet revealed and may never be…to us, in this body and form.

The vastness is bewildering. The vastness is beyond…and immediate.

From the kaleidoscope of all that is, here we are. A speck of expression. A reflection, a prism, a conduit.

In this place, let us pray.
