Island Prayer
I scan for your island horizon
I follow the fish in your sea
I swim past the stones in your tidepool
And slide on the sand of your beach
I study your tracks in the ocean
I’m guided by stars in your sky
I aim myself toward your volcano
And follow your birds as they fly
I slip on the paths in your jungle
And slosh through your tumbling creeks
In each step of my seeking I find you
As I climb up the
spines of your peaks….

PS: Have a look at my updated website, OPENCHRISTIANITY.COM - especially the new pages for KIDSOUL - progressive, pluralistic, interfaith resources for families with kids. I'd love to get your suggestions re: resources, programs, materials, and curricula for families that want to raise their children in a spiritual but not necessarily traditionally religious manner. Also, I'd love ideas and feedback from you for my whole openchristianity.com site. By the way, my first book, OPEN CHRISTIANITY, is back in print - you can get it at this specific site: Open Christianity at Amazon.com (the version now in print is from St Johann Press)
