from Praying With the Earth: A Prayerbook for Peace
by John Phillip Newell

May the deep blessings of earth be with us.
May the fathomless soundings of seas surge in our soul.
May the boundless stretches of the universe echo in our depths to open us to wonder
to strengthen us for love
to humble us with gratitude
that we may find ourselves in one another
that we may lose ourselves in gladness
that we may give ourselves to peace.
