Daily Signet
O Beloved Spirit,
While we wear a body
that is either male or female,
we know that beneath this outer body,
we are both.
And though our particular outer
seems to separate us from the other,
we seek in the inner
a balance of the both.
This day we pray for fire
that it may flare atop our water
in its dance of light and hot.
May its flame fuel us with beauty
as we look for beauty
in what we touch,
in what we create.
Generate and temper in us a flame,
that what is eternally masculine
will direct us toward what is active,
toward what will activate.
We delight in the light of what is yang—
may we cultivate this delight
as we raise the both to a higher balance.
In Your Image. Amen.
Benjamin H. Martin
