Rooted in Mystery

Let us bow to the Infinite Presence

As we step into the week of Yesod:

         Foundation, connection,

         The rooted strength of Unfathomable Mystery,

         The very ground beneath our feet.

Yesod brings generative fires of earth,

Deep replenishing wells,

Vast root systems woven

Connecting us all.

As we stand on and with these forces

Let us call on the ancient ones,

Trees, animals and creatures

Who have been here for thousands of years,

         Guide us please,

         We humans are so very young

         And need help learning how to live in harmony.

         Teach us how to walk with reverence and care,

         Show us how to tend the ground

         So through our lives

         Healing, justice, compassion, understanding and peace

         Take root and grow.

*

May our prayers be rooted,

May they rise like incense,

May the offerings of our hands be received as a gift.

Psalm 141:2
