A Third Step Prayer

By Anonymous

Source, I devote myself to all that is, and offer my lifeforce essence in heartfelt desire to the betterment of myself and those around me in solidarity and oneness—for I am my siblings, and we are all one people. Allow my hardships, successes, and my life on your terms, to be a testament to others and myself; that the will of cosmic creation and destruction, the birthing and ending of all things, be a witness to constant co-arising awareness of all consciousness. So be it and so it is.

    Written By, Mark S. I lit the leaf to calm my mind,But found my soul grew more confined.A fleeting peace, a fleeting high,Yet every dawn, the well ran dry. The smoke became a binding chain,A silent thief that numbed my pain.It whispered lies, “You’ll be set free,”While tightening its grip on me. Dreams delayed, and…
