🌎 “It Is Good for Us to Be Here”
A Sacred Opening Prayer Before Study
There are moments when a prayer becomes more than words.
It becomes a way of seeing.
A way of entering into learning with humility, gratitude, peace, and connection.
Recently, before studying the Nemenhah record together, a beautiful opening prayer was offered. And honestly…
it carried the spirit of the Wheel itself.
Not just asking for help.
But remembering who we are connected to.
🌿 The creation.
🌌 The worlds without end.
🕊️ The Peacemaker.
🌎 Earth Mother.
🔥 The wisdom keepers.
👣 The ancestors.
❤️ One another.
And the quiet invitation to place all things upon the Wheel and consecrate them.
🌌 Science as a Sacred Witness
One part of the prayer especially touched me:
“Thank you for all of the life-giving sciences that we have here on this earth… all of the organisms… all of the worlds without end… the minuteness that are so tiny that we can barely know the other existence, and those things that are so large that we can’t help but be in awe…”
I loved that.
Because true wonder does not divide science and spirit.
The deeper we look…
the more astonishing creation becomes.
🔬 Tiny cells working together.
🌿 Forests communicating underground.
⭐ Galaxies moving in harmony.
💧 Water cycles.
🧠 Consciousness.
🌎 Ecosystems.
Everything connected.
Everything moving in patterns.
Everything testifying of relationship.
The Wheel teaches us that all things are connected.
And modern science keeps accidentally proving it.
🕊️ Consecrating All Things Upon the Wheel
Another powerful theme repeated throughout the prayer was this idea:
placing all things upon the Wheel.
Not just successes.
Not just spiritual experiences.
But everything.
Even suffering.
Even mistakes.
Even confusion.
The prayer said:
“Things that maybe didn’t go the way that we thought they would… but we can also consecrate those things and learn from them.”
That is one of the most beautiful teachings in the Nemenhah path.
The goal is not perfection.
The goal is transformation.
Not avoiding hardship.
But learning how to place hardship upon the Wheel so wisdom can grow from it.
The Peacemaker did not avoid suffering.
He consecrated it.
And somehow…
through sacrifice…
life came from it.
🌎 Gratitude for the Feminine
Another beautiful part of the prayer was gratitude offered to Earth Mother:
“We thank you for the peace of you that’s in each of us…”
There was something deeply balanced in this.
Creation.
Peace.
Nurturing.
Connection.
Listening.
The prayer acknowledged that the feminine is not separate from spirituality.
It is woven into creation itself.
The earth teaches.
The feminine teaches.
Quietness teaches.
Compassion teaches.
And many of the deepest truths are not shouted.
They are felt.
👣 The Ancestors Still Turn Toward Us
One line especially stayed with me:
“We turn to them as they turn to us to see far off.”
That is beautiful.
The ancestors are not merely “dead people.”
They are part of the great human story that brought us here.
Their sacrifices matter.
Their suffering matters.
Their wisdom matters.
And maybe one of the reasons we feel certain truths so deeply…
is because something ancient inside us remembers.
🔥 “It Is Good for Us to Be Here”
At the end of the prayer came a simple line:
“It is good for us to be here.”
Honestly…
that may have been the holiest part.
No striving.
No proving.
No arguing.
Just gratitude.
People gathering together to learn.
To seek wisdom.
To grow.
To listen.
To become a little more peaceful.
A little more awake.
A little more connected.
And maybe that is one of the deepest purposes of sacred study in the first place.
Not merely gathering information.
But learning how to live upon the Wheel together.
🌿 Final Thought
The older I get…
the more I think true spirituality looks less like certainty…
and more like reverence.
Wonder.
Gratitude.
Stillness.
Connection.
And maybe that is why prayers like this feel alive.
Because they are not trying to control heaven.
They are trying to align with it.
And perhaps that is what the Wheel was always meant to teach us.
Awake.
Awake.
And walk gently.
