A Sufi Prayer

Stand, breathe out.
Wave the world behind you.
Clasp your hands, one over the other.
Silent,
Whisper.
Bow before God--
Remember.

Stand,
Spine straight,
Be grateful.

Humble yourself,
All the way,
Forehead to ground,
And say,

God is perfect.
God is great.
God is glorious.

Sit up,
breathe,
and try again.

Then sit. Be still. Quiet.

There is no God, but God.
There is no God, but God.
There is no God, but God.

Breathe in.

Peace.

Jude

  • Thanks Jenny.

    And thanks for the pics of the cake, they were awesome. You should post them on your blog for all to see and for all to know that when writers aren't writing, they're baking or cooking or knee (or elbow or lips or tongue) deep in chocolate somewhere ;)
