A Prayer for Lesser Feelings
by Rich Orloff
How often I have thought
“If only I didn’t feel this way”
And only later recognized
The blessing of that feeling
Each time I struggle being me,
I hear (if I listen):
Make room for rage, for grief, for confusion and despair
All are gifts from the Divine
Embrace being human in every way
Do not orphan parts of your soul
The feelings you wish to avoid
May need your most tender embrace
Give love to your lesser feelings
Give them time to play
Establish boundaries if you must, and then:
Love them more
I pray to recognize each feeling as a gift
And to be an eager student to their teachings
I can only become as large as me
If I make room for all I am
