AN OFFERING

All that is eternal in me Welcomes the wonder of this day, The field of brightness it creates Offering time for each thing To arise and illuminate.

I place on the altar of dawn; The quiet loyalty of breath, The tent of thought where I shelter, Waves of desire I am shore to And all beauty drawn to the eye. 

May my mind come alive today To the invisible geography That invites me to new frontiers, To break the dead shell of yesterdays, To risk being disturbed and changed. 

May I have the courage today To live the life that I would love, To postpone my dream no longer But do at last what I came here for And waste my heart on fear no more.

REFLECTION:

  • As we begin a new calendar year, this is my prayer for you!
  • May you find courage. 
  • May you invite new frontiers. 
  • May you be changed.
  • May you do what you came here to do AND take the risk to begin!
