Getting down to writing my bit in the harvest festival on Sunday. The theme is bees and here's the first wee prayer, just to whet the appetite. Here after the bees take over...
God of honey and harvest
of grain and grape
of ocean and orchard
This harvest time
May we both praise and pray
praise you for the abundance
and pray that this harvest is not
just shared
but shared justly
God of beehives and breadbaskets
of living webs and the weaving of
life
of ecosystems and economy
This harvest time
may we both praise and pray
praise you for the wealth of the
harvest
and pray that this harvest is not
just a promise
but is full of promise for all
God of bumble bees and blue
whales
evolution and environment
ice-field and star-field
This harvest time
may we both praise and pray
praise you for the sheer wonder
of the world
and pray that this harvest is not
about our wealth
but the wealth of our generosity
