The
Lord's Prayer, translated by Neil Douglas Klotz directly from the
original Aramaic into English, instead of Aramaic to Greek to Latin to
English.
'O Birther! Father/Mother of the Cosmos. Focus your
light within us. Make it useful. Create your reign of unity now, through
our fiery hearts and willing hands. Help us love beyond our ideals and
sprout acts of compassion for all creatures. Animate the earth within us
so we feel the wisdom underneath supporting all. Untangle the knots
within so that we can mend our hearts' simple ties to each other. Don't
let surface things delude us, but free us from what holds us back from
our true purpose. Out of you, the astonishing fire, returning light and
sound to the cosmos. Amen.'
