Mother-father spirit,
In every form,
Thank you for taking life as my family,
For helping us become your transparency,
For feeding our lives with your unbounded love,
For showing us how to live life with our cups filled up.
As your joy spills over onto the Earth,
Through my extended family,
Does your presence give birth,
To our realization of your life-loving ways,
And your ceaseless attention to our love-filled days.
May I always be open to receive your impress,
To share with others who wish to address,
Their recognition of you in all that they do,
To become a clearer reflection of you.
Thanks for my parents,
My sisters and brothers,
Nieces and nephews,
And all of the others,
For showing yourself in so many ways,
For packing the vacuum,
So that there is no empty space,
That we may connect at any time,
And know from you,
God,
That we truly are divine.
