Warmed by Words

As you sit here
with these lines
flowing over you,

may you be warmed
by these words
like the welcomed sunshine

of early spring
warms the skin
on your grateful face.

As you walk outside,
whether in mountains or meadows,
may a stream of blessings
wash over you.

May your eyes be young again
so you will recognize
the daily invitations
that secretly surround you.

May you become an earthen vessel
filled with creativity and awareness,
mindful of sharing these sacred gifts
with illuminated reverence and gratitude.
