Hope and Courage

 

The rains may replenish and nourish but

may also drown and rise up taking any and all 
 

The air may provide sustenance

but its winds may also blow and suck the life out of all in its path 
 

The earth may firmly support us but may also part dropping us into terror
 

Mother Earth today I may see peace but also know your wrath 
 

May I earn your support through

ACCOUNTABILITY in all of my actions,

SUSTAINABILITY in my intentions and

SINCERITY in my stewardship
 

The air, the earth, the water…we are one

What I do to you, I do to myself and my children   
 

Please guide me

Open my path so I may share this with others... for all of our hearts can beat as one 

Let me take just a moment to lie down on your soft spring grass in the light of the sun,

close my eyes, and feel your comfort  
 

I know you are my only destiny
 

 

May I always be grateful for your guidance and kindness
 

Today in my meditation I followed my path and went ten steps through this gray sky

then entered “the blue” an endless bright, comforting blue sky above this gray cloud covered earth. I stayed in “the blue”, rejoiced in this clarity and shared “the blue” with others. We sang in a circle of “the blue” with all. The music was rich. I shared “the blue” with all my loved ones, all countries, all humankind, all living things, all spaces. I shared “the blue” with an open hand.
 

I give thanks for my hands and skin so I can touch and be touched.
I give thanks for my hips so I can stand firmly in my beliefs of stewardship

I give thanks for my heart so I can love and be loved

I give thanks for my head…may I think wisely and share this wisdom and quest with others
 

I give thanks for my higher power…may I always have hope and courage.
