Pray 5 times a day

Let us pray five times a day

In Spanglish
And in Frerabic,
Let us pray five times a day:
To the God who is running things,
God Almighty, Yahweh, Allah,
Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha,
And the Holy Spirit,
The God who is letting things flow,
Evolve, bloom, grow,
Alpha and Omega,
Brahma/ Vishnu/ Shiva,
And any other of the million holy names,
Whether you believe or not,
In a higher power—and saving grace,
Pray:
Pray five times a day;
In solidarity
With the known and the unknown,
The great mystery,
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be…
With acceptance and actions,
Bliss/ Consciousness/ Energy
Green grass daily rising,
Breath on breath,
Galaxy beyond galaxy,
Singing Psalms, or Om,
With all our alphabets,
Our metaphors and murmurings,
Quintessential praise and thanksgiving;
Five fingers touching,
Five toes dancing,
Five senses playing together,
Five Benedictine and Islamic prayers—
The rhythm moving through life for
At least five centuries,
Five decades of a life,
Five times a day
