When the light around lessens and my thoughts darken until my body feels fear turn cold as a stone inside,
When I find myself bereft of any belief in myself
And when all I unknowingly leaned upon has fallen, when one voice commands my whole heart, And it is raven dark:
May I steady myself and see that it is my own thinking that darkens my world.
May I search and may I find a diamond-thought of light, May I know that I am not alone, and that this darkness has purpose; gradually may it school my eyes, to find the one gift my life requires hidden within this night-corner.
I invoke the learning of every suffering I have suffered.
I close my eyes.
I gather all the kindling about my heart to create one spark that is all I need to nourish the flame that will cleanse the dark of its weight of festered fear.
May a new confidence come alive to urge me towards higher ground where my imagination will learn to engage difficulty as its most rewarding threshold!
May God grace my journey and sturdy my resolve
To find peace in the chaos
That is my life
