| | The Shaman of Abiding Grace Writing/Poem: | Oh GREAT SPIRIT
If I have erred,
Show me my errors.
Reveal to me how I have missed the mark.
Let me see my improprieties
That I may know my own actions,
Recognize my own deeds.
Then forgive me,
I ask
And I pray,
And let me live
As flawless as one can live.
But deliver me,
I ask
And I pray,
From the heavy burden
And the waste
Of guilt.
Keep me far, far, far
From the edge
Of that wide,
Black,
Bottomless chasm of incorrect thought
Which would seduce me to believe
That because I have sinned-
Missed the mark-
Acted improperly-
I would tend to attempt to counterbalance
One ill deed
With another ill deed
With another ill deed
With another ill deed-
Until I renounce my power,
Refute my Deliverances,
My Redemptions,
And my Salvations,
And thereby put to death,
And end
My Joys.
Yea, oh GREAT SPIRIT,
Restore, refresh, and renew
Constantly,
Unceasingly,
My Soul,
My Mind,
My Spirit.
Deliver me far, far, far, from this snare,
And keep me ever mindful and joyful
Of my Salvation.
December 25, 1996, 8:25a.m.
From thoughts in a Christ's Mass hot tub. |
