gravity

We delight in the feeling of weightlessness.

Let us free fall through a universe of you.

May we walk lightly in our temporary tents.

May we learn to release to you burdens of all shapes and sizes.

Open our eyes to the bricks that break our backs.

Help us surrender these heavy loads.

Make us weak and needy, that we may be unable to live a moment without you. 

May we denounce our declarations of strong independence.

Remind us of your easy yoke. 

Show us our ancient, broken chains of slavery.

Let us taste a day of full freedom.

Give us an hour where the anchor of guilt does not weigh us down.

Grant us an endless moment of zero-gravity.

Amen.

"Unfurl

Let your arms grow wide

At the sight of enormity

Spread your wings on the mountain peaks

And give in to the beacon of the wind"

- Danielle Brown

"And I'm free, free falling."

- Thom Petty
