Aftershock

Quiet Prayer

In the aftershock of a quake
that broke the heart of a country…
where will you turn when your ground
is still shaking and you can find
no solid footing to stand upon?

Stand still.

Let your heart quake open
beyond what it has ever
known before.

Let all thoughts turn back
toward the One…this
is where your boat
will find its New Shore.

Step out onto an entirely
different land…walk into
the Core where fire
consumes everything
within the astonishing vastness
where no horizon can be found.

Here we cast all our Votes
for God, for Love, for Unity
and justice for All.
