Celtic Prayer

This is a nice post, and somehow I missed it.

In the beginning, O God,
when the firm earth emerged from
the waters of life
you saw that it was good.
The fertile ground was moist
the seed was strong
and earth's profusion of color
and scent was born.
Awaken my senses this day
to the goodness that still stems from Eden.
Awaken my senses
to the goodness that can still spring forth
in me and in all that has life.

~Celtic Prayer

I watch this morning
for the light that the 
darkness has not overcome.
I watch for the fire in the beginning
and that burns still in the brilliance
of the rising sun.I watch for the glow 
of life that gleams in the growing earth
and glistens in the sea and sky.
I watch for your light, O God,
in the eyes of every living creature
and in the ever-living flame of my own soul.
If the grace of seeing were mine this day
I would glimpse you in all that lives.
Grant me the grace of seeing this day.
Grant me the grace of seeing.
