Oh great spirit,
I invite you to walk beside me on this beautiful day.
Before I do a single thing,
I pause and I give thanks.
Thank you for breath.
Thank you for life.
Thank you for this body,
The same one I woke up in today,
Capable,
Imperfect,
And alive.
Guide me today and always.
Help me lead with compassion,
Not just for others,
But for me.
May I see myself with soft eyes and extend the same grace to every soul I meet.
Give me the wisdom to remember I am not only in this day,
I am this day.
I am part of it and I am strong enough to move through it with an open heart.
Let me hold space for differences without judgment.
Let me be a quiet light like the sun,
Shining warmth on all beings without needing agreement or approval.
The sun doesn't choose who deserves its warmth and neither will I.
Today may we stop the hate in our hearts.
May we reach for the love instead.
May we lock hands across what divides us and remember we're one human family.
Bless the ones who are suffering.
May I be of service where I can,
Not from a pedestal,
But from presence.
Let me extend my hand.
Let me offer kindness.
Let my actions come from a place of good intention,
Not ego or opinion.
I open my arms to the left and to the right,
Knowing we've all been misunderstood,
We've all carried pain,
And we are all worthy of compassion.
Help me clear the noise from my mind,
The scrolling,
The static,
The narratives that don't serve my soul.
Let stillness find me,
Let peace hold me,
Let truth rise in me.
It only takes one button to turn off the TV and one swipe to silence the noise,
But it takes something much deeper to truly open.
So today I choose that.
I choose to open my arms and open my heart and open my mind.
Let me receive what's meant for me and let me give from what's real in me,
And let love,
The gritty,
Sacred,
Honest,
Kind guide every step I take.
And so it is,
My darling,
And so it is.
