10 Prayer and Meditation Responses (in honor of Roy Redman)

 

PM107

 

As it's spoken by our mouths

And heard by our ears,

Be it written on our hearts

And with actions sincere

May we bring Truth to all parts

North and East, and West and South.

 

 

PM207

 

So may it be,

And ever may Truth flow,

Revealed for all to see,

For all who seek to know.

 

 

PM307

 

Wisdom from the world's beliefs

Inspires in us an answering call,

Beckoning in leitmotifs:

"Welcome, seekers, one and all."

 

 

PM407

 

Heed the guidance of reason

And beware idolatry;

Grant each Truth its due season,

And confirm its quality.

 

 

PM507

 

Love's transforming power

Is witnessed here today;

Fragile as a flower,

Impossible to slay.


PM607

 

Transcending mystery and wonder,

Affirmed in all who live;

Renew our spirits and ponder

The gifts we have to give.

 

 

PM707

 

The sacred circle of life

Calls us to celebrate,

To join our hearts in the dance

With creatures small and great;

The circle of life of life teaches me

To savor all harmony.

 

 

PM807

 

The spirit without the mind

Has no destiny;

The mind, lacking spirit, too

Drifts on endlessly.

But reason and faith combined

Seek, resolved, the True.

 

 

PM907

 

Witness now the power

Of prophetic folk,

May we in this hour

Claim as ours their yoke.

 

 

PM1007

 

There are many Truths and views,

Each has something we can use;

May we find the Truths we seek

And be strengthened through the week.
