Creator of the Universe,

Loving Mystery, Womb of Silence,
you have brought me out of the narrows

into a broad and spacious place.
I will not return to confinement,

but remain here in your generous freedom.
I guard the silence at the center;

I hold the moment empty and open.
I breathe in,

and make sanctuary in my body for you.
I make room in my thoughts

for you to enter and be at peace.
I offer openings in my day,

where you may rest.
I create space in my living

for you alone.
I enter the holy of holies

where you make of this moment
the void of Creation,

the gift of Sabbath.

Amen.
