A Gnostic Prayer

Found somewhere in the dark.

Art by Heather McLean

To create the divine in a fallen world, what greater task can there be?

To respect the wishes of those who choose to stay, what greater challenge — greater dilemma — can there be?

To learn to trust yourself, what truer guide can there be?

To return to the Mother, what more of a reward could there be?

What better reason to live, within the darkness, can there be.
