Beautiful beautiful night,

wash over me with your cleansing air.

Beautiful beautiful morning,

wrap me in your soothing stillness.

Beautiful beautiful being,

abide with me in your tender gaze.

Whatever arrives, let me welcome it.

Help me not to judge it,

help me to be with it,

with attention,

with a mere glance,

whatever suits the moment,

whatever brings gentleness.

Let me live each moment 

as if embraced in a miracle,

calm, thoughtful, serene,

this I ask of the day

this I ask of the night,

this is my silent prayer.
