Morning Blessing Gift Of An Embrace

In the gray early morning,

The wide arms of the beach reach out to the ocean and embrace the gentle curve of water.

In the same way,

Let the day embrace the part of you that is available at this beginning moment.

At the beach,

There is only the soft murmur of wavelets lapping up the sand,

Then back,

Like breath in meditation.

Breathe like the waves,

In and out,

Up and back,

Over and over,

Extending the ocean,

Returning to the ocean.

Feel your breath,

The coolness coming in,

And the soft rush going out.

Breathe all the way in,

Sending fresh air from the universe to every part of your body,

Down to your feet,

Through your legs and torso,

Around your midsection,

Into your arms,

And back out your throat and mouth.

With this quiet new energy,

Search for signs of feeling,

And when you find them,

Amplify them.

Breathe so that feelings have life and movement,

And can move out to expression,

Right now,

Right here.

So,

Too,

Breathe life into your spirit.

Like your breath,

Spirit is an expression of who you are at a most pure level.

Spirit asks nothing but expression,

Requiring only that you recognize who you are.

May you enter this day both embraced and embracing.

Your gift today is an embrace.
