God of eye and ear,
of taste and touch,
of smell and of every sense
and source of knowing,
bless me not
with sight alone
but bless me also
with ears to hear
your voice
and tongue to taste
your essence
and nose to breathe
your fragrance
and fingertips to touch
your nearness
and heart to open
that door
which is wisdom,
which is wonder,
which is all.
-Jan Richardson
