I wrote this when I started going back to church after an event that St John’s Cathedral held during pride month that caused me to feel welcome despite my misgivings associated witht trauma and a long time away from churches in general.
*At the time whilst I connected with thte holy spirit, I was too triggered to use amen or the words ‘jesus christ’ as anything but blasphemy, so that’s where I substituted with ‘love’

The photograph is from where I sat in St John’s cathedral when I wrote this on my phone;

Returning prayer

Holy Spirit like a wraith of incense smoke/
cool stone tiles felt through bare feet/

help me and my friends/
seek truth and rest/
let all know the strength they have proffered/ courage unabated
horror + terrorism sought to divide us/
may this not be so/ may we gather our strays/foundation of practice
reach out to others despite the cost it comes at/ help the lost, guide the fading and until death be yours unwavering
thank you
love

A prayer I wrote;

Courtesan’s text

Let us find strength, that we already have
Let us serve justice, most swiftly
May we find truth from distortion, resonate courage acknowledged or no,
Blessed tears of release, to feel the comfort of friends, the love of sympatico, and in their absence the solidarity of stones that know of the traditions of the lost. Have felt it for centuries, embedded with the energy of, and compassion for, artists and soul searchers trying to find a way, those mutterers and talkers, weepers and quiet sighers, the isolated, the blackmailed and the confused who see through lies but lack validation of truth. Praise be to them, they know it not but their practice more true. Motions of respect without feeling or meaning compare not to these types. May they, we, feel love.
Blessed be

For people thinking about non binary…

Gentlethem/masc qualities

Makes you laugh
Respects your opinion
Ambitious
Smart
Brave

Theydies/femme qualities

Courteous
Sensitive
Accepting
Graceful
Nuturing

⭐️

Oh, and you can start gender inclusive meetings with ‘theydies and gentlethem” instead of “ladies and gentlemen” you’re not going to hear many complaints front the diverse in gender and sexuality (digs) community, and it’s neat how it covers everyone including people who are questioning or closeted. Try it next meeting and watch the pleased smiles happen.
