Prayer for a Questioning Heart

May your journey
through the questions of life
bring you to a new moment of awareness.
May it be
an enlightening one.
May you find
embedded in the wisdom
of the past,
like all the students
of life before you,
the answers
you yourself
are seeking
now.
May they waken
that in you which is
deeper than fact,
truer than fiction,
full of faith.
May you come to know
that in every
human event
is a particle of the Divine
to which we turn
for meaning here,
to which we tend
for fullness of life
hereafter.
