"God, I know you are present in my life.
You are present in my waking and my sleeping
and my going forth.
God, I know you are present in my life
through the animals in my life.
You are present in their waking and their sleeping
and their daily going forth.
God, for these animals.
a hundredfold thanks.
God, thank you for the morning.
In the morning both the animals and I stretch our bodies and greet the day.
God, thank you for sleep.
In our sleep, the animals and I dream
And God, thank you for my life in the world.
When I go into it I know that I am not alone.
You are with me
And in so many ways, so are Your animals.
This is a blessing.
A daily blessing.
A blessing in my waking and sleeping
and in my going forth."
