A New Years Prayer

Happy New Year!! 
I have a sweet treat for you today! Our resident poet January has a New Year’s Prayer for us!!

New Years Prayer by January Handl

Make my bonds of love
flexible,
responsive,
awake,
alive.

Make the silver threaded connections
to the beautifully- broken beings
course with a love
that they can feel…

With the ever present
thought of being-ness,
with the dreams of peace
and power
held in gentle embrace
and warm affections.

Make my movements in the world
worthy of my rare existence;
make my forgiveness
encompass every bit of every thing
to tenderly hold
the innocence that
pulses at the core of life.

Make my weariness recede when
my presence is called for;
Make me resonate with
the vast vibrations of the un-knowable
All.
Make me open to the gifts
that only wait for my attention.
Let me inhabit this
singularly astonishing life
with the joy and awe it
so richly deserves.
