Lisa Ray Instagram – Sharing a year/decade end prayer for myself, my girls and all of humanity alight with protests. This is my dikhr or remembrance of what’s essential; blessings from my book #ClosetotheBone once chanted with a nurse on night duty when I was fettered to a hospital bed during my stem cell transplant. ‘There’s no such thing as a ‘small change’, she said, checking my vitals, pausing to dampen my lips with a cotton swab’. . And so we devised our own way of invoking positive change: ‘May you give birth to the Gods and Goddess inside you May your inner dialogue reflect the fire of your soul May you see the other in yourself and yourself in others May your thoughts escape you and your feelings catch you when you don’t expect it May your lottery ticket possess the winning number’ (literally and meta-wise ✌🏼😜)
