I call to you, Eutykhia,<br />I pray to you, O goddess, grant to me the good.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=underflow&ditemid=46085" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://underflow.dreamwidth.org/46085.html tyche prayers public 0 https://underflow.dreamwidth.org/27626.html Sun, 24 Apr 2011 00:26:12 GMT https://underflow.dreamwidth.org/27626.html Kind-hearted Tyche, granter of fortune good or ill,<br />you hold in your hands prosperity, to give<br />or to withhold. You throw the bones, you spin the wheel,<br />you cut the cards before each game we play; Tyche,<br />your hand is in each chance we take, each hunch we follow.<br />We make our choices, Tyche, by whim or with care; <br />we plan our lives, we attempt to create the best<br />of possible outcomes; we reckon the odds and place<br />our bets. We do what we can, goddess, to craft<br />our world as we would wish it, and yet<br />so much of life is not ours to plan, so much<br />of choice is blind or faulty, so much of<br />what is, is unclear or unknown--by all our will<br />and all our skill we cannot form our world entire.<br />Tyche, blessed one, where our own efforts cannot<br />prevail, your might can tip the scale. Your favor,<br />goddess, can enrich our lives; its lack can break us.<br />Tyche, compassionate one, I praise and honor you.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=underflow&ditemid=27626" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://underflow.dreamwidth.org/27626.html tyche prayers public 0
