August 03, 2006 9:37 AM- swimming in gratitude
morning song
to the spirits of the South
I send blessings of thanks
for waking me wrapped in warmth
and safety
to the spirits of the East
I send blessings of thanks
to those who have come before me
and helped to shape the beauty
of this day
to the spirits of the North
I send blessings of thanks
for whispering words of encouragement
that light my way
to the spirits of the West
I send blessings of thanks
to those now arriving with seed baskets brimming
to sow the fields of tomorrow
to the sky above me
and the earth below my feet
I say,
may there be love
all around us
love all around us
blessed be
~written on the plane, flying home from ArtFest 2006

Wow! How gorgeous. You're a poet, too! What a renaissance woman. I agree with Kari, it's a lovely thing to read first thing in the morning.

This reminds me very much of some of the Native American prayers(?) of thanks. Is that partially where you got inspiration for this one from? Either way, I really like this too :)

speaking of artfest...i'm really intersted in going and noticed they start taking reservations in september. there's no way i'll come up with the money until, probably after christmas. do you think that will be too late? i might could borrow it (from parents--ugh!) if i really had to... let me know...
