call it a prayer if you like.

The extent to which I live in my head is a problem in relationships.  But maybe not when it comes to my relationship to myself.  Although I have always found it harder to forgive myself than anyone else.  When I think about things I need, I overlook most of the details and find myself wanting.

Conversely,

I ask for the courage to open up and give my best love away, leaving space within me for whatever is left when it's gone.  Or what comes.

Similarly,

I ask that the people I love and the people they love and so on until everyone is covered can be healthy, happy and free.

You know, insofar as that's something you can ask for.
