there is a cupboard in the kitchen and on the inside of one of the doors is this prayer…….
oh great spirit
creator of all
blessed be the big and
blessed be the small.
oh fire that warms and
water that cleanses
light that shines and
love that surrenders.
oh earth that provides and
air that breathes
hearts that declare and
minds that receive.
oh great spirit
friend and lover
blessed be the father and
blessed be the mother.
we give thanks.
What a lovely prayer! Was it there when you moved in? There’s something even more special about that!

I am lucky to live in a handmade mud brick home built by John, the cupboard came from friends and I painted it all different colours. I wrote the prayer and painted it on the door one day.

What a lovely little prayer – and I like that the cynical teenager balanced it with their thoughts. The inside of my cupboard doors are very bare in comparison.

thanks leanne, I think the inside of cupboard doors are meant to be bare – I had a realisation one day that there too was a canvas – if I was a visual artist I may have painted a wren. twas done many years ago….

It wouldn’t ever occur to me to write a prayer inside a cupboard door, Sandra. However, as always, what you do just seems so fitting and so right.

I appreciate your confidence in me karen – and even after all these days when the door is open and lets face it, tis a sticky catch that needs firm closing I don’t mind seeing the prayer -indeed I enjoy the reminder to give thanks …
