Morning Blessing Gift Of Vision

Open your eyes to this coming day.

Remember that what you see outside is but a reflection of what you are inside.

Help the world welcome you today by seeing the world.

Actively project receptivity from your eyes.

Take in the world.

Receive silence in these next moments of today.

Soak up the silence that exists in between all the little and not so little noises of today's beginnings.

The silence is always there,

Waiting.

Now let it be here with you.

With your mind's eye scan your physical being.

Use your attention to bring life to your body,

To your feet and legs,

To your waist,

To your chest and arms,

To your neck and head.

Especially,

Open your eyes so that today they may both give and receive.

See what feelings you have.

Use your perception to find any feeling,

Even the ones that hide in lightless corners.

Open your vision to your feelings.

We humans yearn for unobstructed views to mirror what lies within.

When I sit on Maine's rocky shores,

My spirit leaps out through my eyes and is affirmed by the limitless expanse,

Horizons beckon our spirits.

May you go into this day with your eyes open and find others to meet your gaze.

See how you might let yourself be seen.

Allow yourself to be seen through the eyes,

Your windows.

Your gift today is vision.
