Prayer of Weaving
Mihi – The Prayer of Weaving
My day often begins early, around 3 am, when the walls between the worlds are thin, and it is easier to walk in the World Between, to hear what is to be heard.
One morning in 2020, during Level Four lockdown here in Aotearoa New Zealand, the Voice roused me from my bed. Write this down, it said. I grumbled and pulled the bed covers up over my heard.
I am not listening (I can be stubbornly disobedient to Wairua/Spirit).
The Voice grew louder.
GET OUT OF BED!
I did as I was told.
And this karakia found its way into my book Raahui.
Prayer of Weaving
Let us weave a prayer of light
Let us weave a prayer of night
Let us weave a prayer of water
Let us weave a prayer of all that is blue
Let us weave a prayer of trees
Let us weave a prayer of all that is green
Let us weave a prayer of earth
Let us weave a prayer of all that is red
Let us weave a prayer of breathing
Let us weave a prayer of all that is air
Let us weave a prayer of gold
Let us weave a prayer of all that is Love
Let us weave a prayer of threads without ends or beginnings
Let us weave a prayer of connection
With, from, and to
The Ground of All Being.
