Shelter

My nest...

in the forest.

This is a morning blessing that I wrote a few weeks ago:

May I live this day as a gift and an experiment,
trusting my way into all that it holds –
joy, ache, gratitude, expression.

May I open my mind and heart to this learning,
with the courage to risk, to change, to keep trying –
knowing that I am enough.

May I give thanks for the Earth, beautiful fragile home
and for ancestors, companions and all who will follow –
knowing that I am not alone.

Spirit (as near as my breath) –
help me to be strong and of service,
remembering that I am always on sacred ground.

May it be so.
