May I act with compassion,
remembering the irreplaceable
of the threads of human connection.
May I maintain a spirit of curiosity,
generosity, and creativity.
May I extend a hand when needed
and retreat when necessary.
May I exercise wise discernment.
May I remember to step outside
under a wide sky.
May I sweep my arms up and open
and then bring them down,
palms to the earth,
feeling the steady thrum of life
weaving the whole.
Placing one hand on my heart
and one on my belly,
may I be inspired, nourished, and restored
by this matching pulse within.
May I allow myself to pause
and witness the tender terrain
of uncertainty
and choose to inhabit it fully,
allowing not knowing, maybe, and if
to drift around me on the winds
of change,
while I take
another step
on solid ground.
We are sending out an extra newsletter this month to offer resources to support and encourage you during the wobbly and uncertain times being experienced around the world with regard to pandemic. I have revised and updated our free Affirmation Card Deck to include a black and white line drawing on every card so you may enjoy coloring and customizing the deck for yourself at home. We hope you find these cards nourishing and helpful! I suggest printing them on card stock and cutting them apart with a paper cutter, but plain paper and scissors also work.
We also decided to place most of our books and charms on sale in the shop for the next week.
Reminder: Earthprayer is back for 2020! This two-week class is all about "sacred pauses" to reflect and connect. Another pay what you choose offering, you can register at full price or choose to enter "halfprice" for 50% off or "freeclass" for completely free. Those who choose to register at cost help keep offerings like this free and accessible to the entire community.
Looking around,
I feel like I can see
the whole house is full
of my own life
waiting for me to have time to live it.
Cancel everything,
indeed,
and see what has
been waiting for you
to finally pay attention.
