Prayer for Solace and Peace

On the horrifying news today,

I have no meaningful words today.
Nothing can be said, its just too early.
My heart just aches.

Just a simple prayer to our Goddess, that She might find a way to console the inconsolable.

Goddess of Solace,

For the children,
For their parents and families,
For the teachers,
For their friends,
And for this country;

Be with them, and all of us;

The stunned, hurt and afraid,
The angry and horrified.
The inconsolable.

Wrap yourself around them,
As only you can;

Lift them up.
Give them back the hope that was taken from them.

Work to heal, yet again,
As they mourn.

Blessed be to all today,
For we all need it.

Good morning, Goddess

Good morning, Goddess,

As I wake to a new day -

I give my offering and
Spend a quiet moment with you.

I sit in peace before the day's gathering storms
Inevitably come down.

That's ok.

For now, I let the time slip in silence.
Just breathing and being still with you.

As you walk with me today -

May I remember you are with me,
Putting the ground beneath my feet
And the sunlight on my face.

Thank you for today.
