That Which Dissolves

Prayer speaks to your heart.
It calls to it.
In it, it is at home.

Can you hand it over to greater than yourself?
Lay it at the feet of that which can carry everything
that will not be crushed by the weights of the world on its chest

So great is it,
Large, powerful, loving,

You alone cannot dissolve this weight,
You must enter into that which can,
that which can, that which already does it.

Look deeply, and see:
your weight is not.

    1. This is indeed what the Wikipedia page says.
      It reminded of what I had been taught about sanpai, the prosternation practice in Zen.
      « The Buddha in me recognizes the Buddha in you »
