How Long

October 13, 2024  •  Leave a Comment

Breath prayer from Cole Arthur Riley, "Black Liturgies":

Inhale: How long, O God?

Exhale: This is too much to hold.

Inhale: I am not okay.

Exhale: God, with you I am safe,

Inhale: I don't have to hold every pain at once.

Exhale: I can feel and not be consumed.

Inhale: I won't rush my grief.

Exhale: These tears are sacred.
