Jacob Trapp: Prayers
MARK OF THE ETERNAL
Grant us to see things that bear the mark of the eternal:
The beauty that lives with loving kindness,
The transmutation of suffering into wisdom and understanding;
The divine impulse given and received.
Give us to cherish life’s perishable beauty
That it may be imperishably present with us,
And may we so pass through the things that are fleeting
As to be richer in the things that endure.
GUIDE US
Guide us, True Light;
Quicken us, True Life;
Feed us, True Bread;
That our hunger for You may be fed,
And that we may be led
Into the Way of Peace.
PRIORITIES
Wisdom, be more precious than possessions without end.
Truth, be more sacred than the pleasing of a friend.
Courage, be our strength to gain the distant goal.
Beauty, send cleansing wonders through the soul.
PIC BY Sanjeev Nijhawan / Caters News The perfectly-timed optical illusion photo shows the camel standing still while his head was turned the other way. Sanjeev said: “I saw a herd of camels crossing the road. It was a sight I couldn’t resist clicking. PIC BY Sanjeev Nijhawan / Caters News “I stopped and went towards the herd and suddenly at a distance I saw this camel with his head turned around which looked like a headless camel. “I had around five seconds to get the photo before he pulled his head up again.”
So merrysome like folk dance.
ReplyDeleteMore than ritual solemn.
Jewsih rabbi is great performance conscious apparently.
Well reflecting their own traditions and cultures.
