A prayer for the pain, loss and endings


With pain comes healing
With loss, freedom
With endings, beginning
Sometimes we don’t know why
We are in the place we are
Sometimes we can’t understand
Why us
How we got to where we are
How dreams have been shattered
How lives,
How loves
How longings
Have been lost
Sometimes we are not meant to understand it all
Anything
Everything
Nothing
Sometimes we just have to let go
Surrender
Believe
Have faith
Particularly when there is pain
Particularly when there is loss
Particularly when things have ended
Sometimes just taking one step
Putting one foot in front of the other
Will
 Set us anew
Free us
From the pain
From loss
From endings
To discover
The healing
Freedom
Beginnings
Particularly when we discover our story is not ours to keep
That sometimes it’s for everyone
Not to be held
Not to be hidden
Not to be ashamed of
Because sometimes our story is a universal one
Set free
For all to see
For all to understand
We are all the same
All from the One
The mighty One Source
That weaves us all together
Piecing together
Our pain
Our loss
Our endings
Helping us to see
Sometimes we are storytellers
Who are meant to open
The hearts of those who have closed
Who think they are all alone
Who are heartbroken
To understand
With pain comes healing
With loss, freedom
With endings, beginnings
A chance to start anew
To be reborn
Because
There is always a story behind the stories
A hidden truth plain to see
A passage to an inner world
Hidden from the naked eye
Awakening only
When the sun sets
And our beliefs become one.
Releasing us 
From the pain
From loss
From endings
Giving us the wings
To embrace
The healing
The Freedom
And beginnings
Always
Opening us to all that is
Amen
