Blessing 11.3

May your head touch the sky

May you see clearly

May you have the capacity to listen

May you be free to touch

May your words be true

May your heart and mind be open

May your hands be empty to fill the need

May your arms be open to others

May your gifts be revealed to you

So that you may return that which has been given

Completing the great circle.

Stop and take a moment to really notice your surroundings.
You might be surprised what you see.
While doing that recently, I was rewarded with a two act drama from nature.

Blessing 11.2

when the weight of the world
is pressing heavily on your shoulders

may you have one or two
willing to stand at your side
and take the pressure off
even if momentarily

long enough to know
you are not alone

and when you see a friend bowed low
under their own pressures
may you have the strength
to ease their load momentarily

so they too know
they are not alone

Blessing 11.1

May you walk softly and simply
so your eyes may really see
May you accept what is before you
as it is now

yet all the while

May you continue to hold the vision
for what can be to come
May you be the person you need to be
for it to enter in
