The lack of compassion,
The dismissal of what lives between our words,
The impatience with those who just don’t understand as I think they should.
Ogma, I pray you turn the light of your countenance upon me that my bias may be illuminated.
Help me to champion right-action justly through strength of character.
Help me to gain the eloquence that may be found only in listening to learn
and responding to connect.
Ogma, I seek your aid for I would cultivate the learning that comes through patience, acceptance, and compassion.
So may it be.
