Excerpts From the Compilation Prayer, Number 12, Trust

Excerpts from the compilation: “Prayer” 
number 12. Trust 

I wish for us, the practice of Trust,
Especially in the moments 
when we only experience 
Things that seem to be harsh, cruel, unfair and unjust,. 
And when we don’t understand
And say:
“Why now? Why me? Why us?”
Especially when the smell of decay, disease and death 
Seems to be almost all that there is.
And the melodies of fear and sorrow
Are the only music that we can hear -
right now. 
And the moments when the night is so dark
and smoke so dense and thick
That we hear, see and feel nothing
and appear to have lost our way,
So that all that we can do is bravely wait
and make space,
So that what needs to emerge
CAN be born.
Especially…  
When this is the first time
and we don’t know what to do
and are shaking in our skins.
