Prayer

Noticing Spring
Let us pause to celebrate and give thanks for the season of spring.
Let us become still.
Notice your breathing...in and out...
Become aware when the breath in becomes the out breath and repeat.
Leader: Creator Spirit,
Leader: In spring, the plants stir from their apparent quiet activity during winter
In spring, we notice plants stirring
All: In spring, we notice plants stirring
Leader: In spring, daylight begins to lengthen, green growth begins to appear and buds
begin to form
In spring, we notice new growth
All: In spring, we notice new growth
Leader: In spring, wildflowers, daffodils, wattle and other colourful surprises become
present.
In spring, we delight in noticing emerging colours
All: In spring, we delight in noticing emerging colours
Leader: In spring, new life and possibilities come forth in surprising ways
In spring, we notice new possibilities
All: In spring, we notice new possibilities
Leader: I now invite you to add your own phrase.
Leader: Creator spirit, we are reminded that we live in symbiosis with the created world,
not to dominate over it, but to coexist in loving it and caring for it in order for it to
flourish.
Amen
