I got nothing for you but this shitty little prayer

Good morning, friends. I have to leave for the airport in less than an hour and cannot manage to finish sentences or finish packing. I am sending you all love and this little prayer.

Dear God,

You’re gonna need to help out today.

If people in my life need some comfort and reassurance, it can’t really come from me today because I am in need of the same.  I just can’t just blow sunshine up anyone’s ass today, Lord, so I ask that you send what they need, please.

If it is possible to remind us that millions of human beings throughout history have lived through worse political situations and still managed to make art, and find joy, and share meals and resist despair, could you do that for us please? And then keep guiding us toward their wisdom.

In fact, cover us all in a wisdom that is not available in memes, and hot takes.

And help us remember to drink some water today.

In other words, have mercy upon us.

Amen.
