Morning Blessing Gift Of Rain

You greet this day as a dry plant soaks up the rain,

For it is you that gives this day life and meaning.

You bring uniqueness and freshness to the day that would otherwise be absent.

Your special eyes see the new day.

It is only when the rain lands and hits something that you hear it.

Let there be silence now,

The silence of rain falling before it lands.

Allow the rain of silence to fall around you and inside you,

Washing away all thought and leaving you deeply clean.

What would feel the rain land?

Walking in the wet woods,

I only notice the rain on my head after it has soaked through my hair.

Imagine rain touching and waking up every part of your body.

Refreshing.

When you invite your emotions to come up to the surface,

Does it matter if you don't like what you find?

Give whatever feeling you have a name and some kind of expression.

Remember,

You thus join a community of feeling people.

We humans have more that connects us than keeps us apart.

What we have in common is spirit,

A quality both unique and universally similar.

The deeper you explore inside yourself,

The stronger you are connected to other humans.

May a universal spirit touch you today,

Something that demonstrates to you that you are unique and yet connected.

Your gift today is rain.
