... a Little Book of Prayers, edited by David Schiller. While I am in a void, a place of spiritual silence, I am going to try to post a few times a week, maybe more, from this book.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
O God, O Lord of the mountains and valleys, I have offered you a bit of your food, your drink. And now I continue on, beneath your feet and your hands, I, a traveler.
Now I will selep beneath your feet, beneath your hands, O Lord of the mountains and valleys, O Lord of the trees, O Lord of the creeping vines. Again tomorrow there will be day, again tomorrow there will be light. I know not where I will be.
Who is my mother? Who is my father? Only you, O God. You watch me, guard me, on every path, through every darkness, and before each obstacle that you might hide or take away, O God, my Lord. O Lord of the mountains and valleys.
~Kekchi Maya
