Oh Great Spirit

Guide the tides of this foolish man’s heart.

Just as the waves break against the shore

 rush up onto the beach

And escape the ocean’s majestic flow

I also become absent minded

and find myself flowing away from you at times.

Always keep me aware and remind me,

Pull me back into the undertow

Of your abundance and Grace.

Steady my awareness and remind me

That we are never apart from each other

And always connected,

Even at my farthest point of escape.

Make my mind just as the ocean waves.

As they rush up onto the beach

remind me that you are always there with me

and that I will always recede back into you.
