In these still, quiet moments,
I am not asleep and not yet awake. |
|
|
In the threshold of day and night,
with the mixture of darkness and light, my body is once again coming to life. |
|
|
I am reborn, each day,
from the womb of your compassion. May all of my actions be worthy of the faith You’ve placed in me. |
|
|
With words of thanks I’ll greet the dawn.

Thank you to Andrew Shaw for contributing this work inspired by Modah/Modeh Ani. See here for Andrew’s English translation of that prayer.
