May you root in Deep Time that is both aware of the present moment and draws from evolutionary wisdom and future possibility.
May you be reminded that this planet is over 4 billion years old.
May you find your place in the heroine’s journey of your time.
May your visions and dreams contain hope.
May you practice the art of mercy in waking life.
May you behold the whole life cycle of the plant that exists in the seed.
May you witness old souls in the eyes of babes.
May you plant trees as an elder.
May you know that on the other side of chaos is lyrical, the sweet song of resilience.
