A note to encourage you
in these challenging times.
May you walk through the new year
with grace and ease.
May you have strength and resilience.
Be safe and healthy.
Be filled with joy and lifted up in love.
Be kind in the face of fear.
May you honor your true self
Despite the many voices
Blind to clear sight.
May you forgive others, but mainly
Forgive yourself.
May you be held in so much love and compassion
That your heart spills over
With light to mark our way
As we travel together
With the will and desire
To seek peace. To be peace.
To create a new Earth.
