PRIME TIME
November 23
Daybreak is the few moments of rising light and building energy. As the sun rises, and night becomes day, we enter into the traditional monastic period known as “Prime.” If you rise to greet the sun or whenever it is that you rise, that is your Prime Time.
Rev. Matthew offers his early morning reflection below.
Thanksgiving Meditation
by the Rev. Naomi King
Every day we experience hunger and yearning:
Every day we are invited anew to be thankful:
Our hearts beating in liberating flight, we soar in gratitude for all the gifts we have in this day, in this lifetime of being, and turn again to share this bounty with all that is.
Amen and Blessed Be.
- for food, for approval, for respect, for love,
- for meaningful work, for any and enough work,
- for home, for family, for friends,
- for health, for healing, for hope,
- for the departed, for the newly arrived,
- for the green trees, for the cool clean waters,
- for shade in the heat of the day, and for stars to light the velvet night.
