To Bless Renewal Awakened

During the strain of the day
when losses two and three
pile up on one another,
may a sweet breeze tossle your hair
to remind you of your natural connections
to sun wind and clay.

When frigid darkness slinks away at dawn
may you sprawl
warmed in a bath of sunlit confidence.

As the season turns the shortened days stretching,
may you stretch the part of yourself
which has lain fallow
into a resurgence of life.

And all the internal space provided
by the "permanent climate of divine kindness"
wells up within
as simplicity, laughter, honesty, love
and thankfulness
apply the life giving oil of healing
to every nook and cranny
of the self that renewal has awakened.
