May the fire be in our thoughts
Making them true, good and just,
May
it protect us from the evil one.
May
the fire be in our eyes;
May it open our eyes to see what is good in life.
We
ask that the fire may protect us from what
is
not rightfully ours.
May
the fire be on our lips, so that we may
speak the truth in kindness; that we may serve
and,
encourage others.
May
it protect us from speaking evil.
May
the fire be in our ears.
We pray that we may hear with a deep, deep listening
So that we may hear the flow of water, and of all creation.
And the dreaming.
May we be protected from gossip and from those things
That harm and break down our family.
May the fire be in our arms and hands
so that we may be of service and build up love.
May the fire protect us from all violence.
May
the fire be in our whole being -
In our legs and in our feet,
Enabling us to walk the earth
With reverence and care;
So that we may walk in the ways of goodness and truth
And be protected from walking away from what is true.
This blessing prayer, is over 40,000
years old and belonged to the original Australian people.
