Two variations of this prayer include one spoken by a person coming out and one for a witness.

This prayer/blessing was written in 2020 for the 50th anniversary of Christopher Street Liberation Day, what we now collectively call Pride.

“And everyone has a Sea of Reeds to cross, / Everyone has a story…”

“Please one who receives, crack me open so all I do is open…”

“May the Holy Oneness hold us in the Light / so we may gaze upon the Sacred in each other’s eyes.”

“May I be humbled to not to feel as though I have any true power to create meaningful, lasting change from my squares of influence…”
