May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
May the clarity of light be yours,
May the fluency of the ocean be yours,
May the protection of the ancestors be yours.
And so may a slow
Wind work these words
Of love around you,
An invisible cloak
To mind your life.

Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness…because in the last analysis all moments are key moments and life itself is grace.
Quote: Frederick Buechner.
The moon does not fight.
It attacks no one.
It does not worry.
It does not try to crush others.
It keeps to its course,
but by its very nature, it gently influences.
Quote: Deng Ming-Dao
a song for when you are lighting night’s candle
Light of the world, of endless blessing, sun of our night, lamp of our days; Light of the world, of endless blessing, we raise our hearts in thanks and praise.
Evening lamps are lit, firelight all around. Evening lamps are lit, praise the only sound.
