A Prayer... My Prayer Poem by Andy Carl

I lift my soul to the God of all nations,
and offer my service to all of His creation.
I accept my place in all that is,
and worship the beauty of my own being.
I accept the beliefs of all who are capable of believing,
but reject their beliefs as having influence on my own experience.

I believe in the Goodness of life and the beauty of Death,
I welcome unpleasant experiences whenever they arise
as these experiences make the Goodness of life perceivable.

I accept that there are things that are unknowable to men
and receive this as a blessing to the Creative Soul.
I give this prayer as affirmation to none but myself,
as it is I who needs the reminding.
