Morning Blessing Gift Of Familiarity

Greetings.

As new as this day is,

Some patterns repeat.

Allow yourself to coast when you can.

You don't have to cook a five-course meal in a stranger's kitchen every day.

Enjoy the patterns of your life.

With a history of meditation,

Creating silence becomes easier.

Each time is like coming back to familiar landscape.

I know the pathway and remember the acceleration of the view.

Come back to your silence.

Familiarize yourself with your own body.

Come to know yourself again by breathing in,

Filling your lungs with air,

And thus sending energy throughout your whole system.

Energize your feet,

Legs,

Waist,

Chest,

Arms,

And head.

Take the time now to search for feelings.

Whether what you find is familiar or brand new,

Encourage what you find.

If familiar,

Welcome a friend.

If new,

Rejoice in the very newness.

Come back to the familiar parts of yourself at the deepest level and return to the familiar territory of soul,

A landscape that has existed for centuries.

Consider how you might inhabit this old territory in this new day.

May you walk into this day with sure steps,

Secure in the knowledge that you have traveled this way before.

Your gift today is familiarity.
