A Prayer

[perzephone]

Great Mystery,

Please grant me an environment in which I can grow and change. Please grant me the time and desire for self-care. Please grant me a home environment that is a safe harbor for activity instead of passivity. Please grant me a work environment that is a safe harbor for growth and change, because so much of how I identify myself is based around what I do for a living. I cannot be who I want to be while working in a hotel/casino here in Las Vegas. I am all I'll ever be as long as I remain here. I want to be more than what I am now.

I want to want to make these changes within my world and within myself.
I want to heal, and I want to heal others as I heal myself.
I want to be compassionate.
I want to be open-hearted and kind-hearted.
I want to accept without judging.
I want to separate my identity from my job. I want my job to be 'just' a job, a uniform, something I can shed at the end of the day like so much polyester.
I want to grow plants.
I want to be able to meditate again without falling asleep.
I want to sleep AND dream without medication.
I want to teach.
I want a teacher, or a guide, or a sign. Something. Some signal that I am asking in the right direction.

Thank you, Great Mystery, for hearing my plea.

Namaste
Amen
