  The Prayer    

   

  In simpler times

  When people prayed they made more sense

   

  For example:

  The oldest prayer in the world goes something like this:

   

  "Look to this Day for it is Life

  The Very Life of Life

  The Glory of Growth

  The Rapture of Action

  The Splendor of Beauty

  For Yesterday is already a Dream

  And Tomorrow has yet to Begin

  Therefore this Day must be Well-Lived

  For it will make all Yesterdays seem Dreams of Happiness

  And all Tomorrows Visions of Hope

  I have seen the Morning for the Last Time

  Such is the Salutation of the Dawn" *

   

  In those days long ago

  Death was rejected each morning when people awakened

  As long as their souls never left their bodies

  And so they lived each day as though they had seen the dawn

  For the last time

   

  If only it was that simple for the rest of us

   

  *from the Sanscrit
