Here is the day.
May whatever your five senses and intuition pick up please and welcome you.
And may you welcome what you find as you begin the day.
The grace and beauty available can be reflected in you.
A flat salt pond at the beach held by textured rocks reflects the sky in total silence.
Imagine this silent reflection and bring it into your being.
Be like a pool of water resting in the Earth's arms.
Hold yourself.
Find a way,
Literally or figuratively,
To wrap your arms about yourself.
Feel your own embrace around your shoulders,
Pressing and holding.
Around your legs,
Pressing and holding,
Caring.
Emotionally speaking,
Everything counts.
Whatever the feeling,
Whether you like it or not,
It is valuable simply because it is your feeling.
Angst or humor,
Pain or pleasure,
All it seeks is life,
Just like you.
Under these pools in the darker depths lies something often nameless.
Shy but powerful,
Fresh but ancient,
Your spirit lives at the core underneath to inform and influence everything.
May you feel the influence of your spirit today.
May you allow others to feel it also,
So that you create deep connections.
Your gift today is to see under the surface.
