Prayer For Breathing

Blessed Soul of the Universe,

Breathing us in and breathing us out:


May our breaths continue

And our health and the health of all

Be preserved

In this time of haze, fire and climate disaster.


Holy Wholeness,

Each breath is a prayer:


We take note of those

Who are vulnerable due to illness or age

Or those who must work or live outside 

And we pray for their safety.


Fierce Mystery,

Breathing you in and breathing you out:


Under these circumstances

We are especially mindful of

Our obligation to tikkun olam,

To save our planet and ourselves .


Amen
