Entangled with a billion others

Creator of all,
Christ who walks with us,
Spirit enlivening us:
As we move more deeply
into relationship with you
and with the entirety of 
the created world,
open our hearts to
new ways of being and 
our minds to greater 
understanding of
our place in the world.
Transform any notions of
self-centredness into 
community-mindedness,
and expand our sense 
of community to include
all creation.
​
May we fall in love with 
our more-than-human 
neighbours and understand
that our needs and wellbeing
are intertwined with theirs, 
our very flesh and breath
entangled with a billion others.
Move us to see your 
presence and wisdom
revealed in the intricacy 
of everything around us.
Fill us with compassion 
to live lives that 
extend benevolence
to all life.
Amen.
