“Let us not be asleep during the
days of our awareness,
for each day is precious and shall
not return to give us the benefits
of its blessing.
Let us look clearly and completely
at the reality in which life appears,
knowing that there are some things
that we can change directly,
and others that must wait for a
larger Hand to sweep away what
must be swept away.
For our part, we can hope and we can pray.
We can hold our hearts open and
our eyes seeing.
We can refrain from doing what we wish
to comfort ourselves through ignoring
might do.
We can hope and we can pray, and
we can trust that what has been
manifested in darkness
and has gained strength beyond our wishes,
in due course, and with a force as
sure as the force that created mighty
mountains, deep rivers, and the very
Earth itself in the beginning,
shall bring to that Earth the bounty of light
that will sweep away the darkness and
the night we fear to follow.
Let us not be asleep during the days of
our awareness,
but open our eyes and our hearts
to the goodness of love as
the steady stream from the one Fountain
that shall never run dry.
In this we trust.
In this we believe.
In this we hope.
In this we hold our awareness,
in companionship with the Eternal.”
