64. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Frogs

Dear Infinite,

Here we are, souls in bodies, and it’s a mystery. Help us be awake and alive to every cell, every atom in our bodies and beyond, vibrantly alive to the fundamental oneness of all things. Help us to love our neighbors, to have their backs no matter what, to remember that we are not alone. To make the world a better place. Help us not be lost and beguiled in the fog, but to remember that heaven is all around us, right here, right now. Help us to notice, to summon the courage, to love the mystery. Amen.
