Transcript

Music Greet this day with its sharp sounds of life.

Movement abounds in the pattern created before you and me.

An age-old dance of well-tested rebirth.

Drink of this well that is lasting and wise.

Shed the dread of shadows and phantoms,

Of painful delusions.

Lay aside this quiet,

Insecurities,

Self-detached egos blurred,

The distant image through veils.

Ease the wrestlings of night,

The lurid deliberations,

Opening to the tonic,

The foundation.

Hold fast to spirits rise,

To souls grand parlay.

Give no ground,

Take no fear.

There's no necessity.

Surrender to the summon,

To wash,

Renew,

Fresh substance,

Essence,

On morning's exhalation,

To succeed,

To learn.

Grow right where you are,

Stretching toward slowly as a tree to the firmament.

Restore,

Let wellness bathe your soul in early stillness deep.

Drink of chances,

Potential,

Waves of opportunities,

Currents of hopes for the selfless embrace deserved.

Hold rituals of comfort tightly,

Through turbulence to clarity.

Take a firm hold,

A cup,

A breath,

To gather,

To process.

This beginning grants the right to attempt on neutral ground.

Say hello,

Advantage earned.

You are worthy of this day,

All of the abundance,

The harvest gained,

Bountiful,

Plentiful,

Scarcity erased,

Welcome acceptance,

Wholeness,

Unity,

Permission to be.

Flourish who you are,

Sustenance of day.

You are purpose,

Expectation,

Promise.

Day beholden to you,

And you to gratitude,

Thankfulness,

Recognizing the sacred.

Love,

A heart full,

Compassion and openness,

Surrender and fairness,

In mutual adoration,

Generosity pouring,

Surging,

And in shared reverence of sacred.

This day greets you.
