Dear Friends,
Welcome to your blessing for Saturday,
One of a series of seven,
Which I hope will transform your life.
Close your eyes if that feels comfortable.
Relax.
Become aware of the gift that is your existence in the here and now.
What an amazing thought it is to be here.
What an amazing thought it is that anything is here.
But somehow,
Someway,
Through a process of interactions,
Events and circumstances,
Stretching back to the beginning of time,
You are here.
Relax now and feel a sense of overwhelming gratitude.
As you go about your day today,
May you never lose sight of our shared humanity.
May you look upon other people with kindness and care.
In a world which is afflicted by loneliness,
May you find comfort in connection and may you bring comfort by being a connection.
You have a right to be here,
Everyone has,
So may you foster and celebrate diversity and help bring about a world free from division.
May you learn to understand people with whom you differ.
May you choose peace and dialogue over conflict and disagreement.
May you protect what is fragile and cherish what is good.
May you practice generosity,
Not only with money,
Not everyone has money,
But with the gift of your time,
With patience,
With forgiveness and especially with love.
In times of grief,
May you be comforted.
In times of loneliness,
May you find friendship.
In times of illness,
May you receive care.
In times of exhaustion,
May you find rest.
May you never cease to be amazed by the wonder of your own existence and may that sense of amazement send you into the world day by day,
Making a difference,
Leaving this world a better place than it was when you came into it.
