a prayer to start my class (and your day)...

a prayer that I shared at SPU to begin my class this week 
that I thought you could start your day with as well: 
Come with your transforming power. Breathe upon and into my thoughts and actions this day. Let my work be a labor of love. May those who come in contact with me feel sheltered and cared for. May I do or say some small piece of goodness that will help others feel affirmed and supported.  Let your wind and fire move me into the places where I am needed.  Let me become your breath so that I may assist you in breathing new life into places that are stale and unfruitful. Make me forceful and gentle, powerful and humble, O Spirit, Come!
