with every step today, with every breath, i bow to the beauty of grandmother who stands with grace in the center of the wheel holding the space of silence in a sacred way… in this place, she sees more than she can say and understands more than she sees… as she rests in stillness, she listens to the wind and knows in her heart, in our one heart, that we are hear to offer loving service to all our relations for we are one, one breath, one body, one being, one becoming…
for the past twelve hundred and twenty-five days, i have gathered with this extraordinary being of shining light in sacred communion to voice metta, lovingkindness blessings for all our relatives… each evening, we join at the threshold to offer ourselves and everything we are to the field out beyond… we envision the whole cosmos joining in and experiencing the true reality of oneness where we see all our relations as numinous love…
invoking this divine light of grace every day is one of the most transformative paths i have ever walked; sauntering along this rainbow trail of devotion daily, with this gifted guide, teaches and shows me the way of saging gracefully…
on this very special day, the anniversary of your birth, i celebrate you with this blessing prayed every morning by His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, a blessing you walk and talk each day…
May I be a guard for those who need protection
A guide for those on the path
A boat, a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood
May I be a lamp in the darkness
A resting place for the weary
A healing medicine for all who are sick
A vase of plenty, a tree of miracles
And for the boundless multitudes of living beings
May I bring sustenance and awakening
Enduring like the earth and sky
Until all beings are freed from sorrow
And all are awakened.
~
deep bows and boundless love, beloved flow-er of beauty and soul of the space wherever your soles are kissing the earth, our one heart eternally smiles as we walk the spirit path together until all our relations are free of suffering, all relatives are liberated…
always flowing in beauty…
