Possibilites Galore For 2011 New Year's Blessing

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Oh, my Dear Sweet Loves
New Years Eve is upon us!

Opportunity knocks.
Sit, listen to the sound of your Breath
Grounding toward Your Desires
For this coming Year.

Have you taken time to reflect?
What Passions are calling to you?
Are the seeds of your Dreams ready to be watered?
What have you done to close the doors that no longer serve you?

Let us Wash the slate, dust out the Cobwebs;
As the Sun sets we can release the old,
Creating Space for the New, the unknown.
Opening!
To the Mornings Light.

Let us align ourselves in Compassion,
Toward all Life.
May we be guided to Respect,
Those we presently call our Enemies.
Closing cycles of Fear and Hatred.
We Welcome 2011!

Let us Open our Hearts,
Hearing from this Sacred place.
May we learn to Listen,
Hearing our story in others voices.
Closing cycles of Self-Righteousness.
We Welcome 2011!

Let us Invite Love,
Being Present to the moments,
Not basing our reactions on Hurts of the Past.
May we be guided to our Truth.
Opening a cycle of Compassion and Kindness.
We Welcome 2011!

Let us Cultivate Communication
Clear, Honest
RE-membering that we are all One,
Opening a cycle of Peace.
We welcome 2011!

Let us Pray
In Gratitude,
In our Sorrow.
May our voices Ring out in shared Song,
With different tunes.
Opening a cycle of Tolerance.
We welcome 2011!

May we see the Abundance,
The Magic and Mystery.
May we be guided to our Highest Potent.
May we Honour our Gifts.
Share with those less fortunate.
May we Laugh, more then we Cry.
May we Sing out in Gratitude and Wonder.
YES, indeed we welcome 2011!
Come 2011, come Play with us, Be with us
Teach us the ways of Possibilities and Opportunity.

We sit these last hours with 2010
We give Thanks to all that we have learned~
The Growth, both Sorrowful and Joyful!
We Thank you 2010 ~ Good night.
We Welcome 2011, a New Day, a New Year.

New Moon, On the Ides of March

Grandmother Moon,
Emotions running high
Let this wash us clean.
Rain and tide,
Be gentle with the flooding
Grandmother Moon, I ask of you.
May we find compassion,
In all that twists and turns.

Guide us, Grandmother Moon,
Turning us toward Love, as we
Surrender the grips of fear that hold our Heart.
Show us the way,
As you again glide gentle into the sky
The smallest of silvers, shining in the Darkness.

Grandmother Moon,
Let my heart flood with Kindness,
Teach us this Re-membering of our Self.
The Soul, that can die and be reborn anew.
Gentle and loving.

Thank you Grandmother Moon,
Each cycle you bring a gift,
An opportunity to grow to fullness,
Releasing what does not serve.
Thank you for your sweet light,
Grandmother Moon,
Thank your for your soft singing to sleep









Wisdom Song a 14'drum looking like a full moon

Forgive me, my Sadness

"The soul of the world is nourished by people's happiness...And when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it." Paulo Coelho

Great Mother Earth,
Please forgive me, my sadness,
I am most grateful for all
The beauty, magic, mystery in the world.
There are times, I will admit that living
Inside this human condition, finds me filled with Sorrow.

Great Mother Earth,
Please forgive me, my sadness.
Guide me toward an inner Compassion.
Teach me the way to have roots that give me wings.
Let all my sorrow be a path of growth.

Great Mother Earth,
Please forgive me, my sadness.
I pray for your help with this storm,
The swell in my heart ~
I turn it over to your wisdom.

Great Mother Earth,
Please forgive me, my sadness.
Guide me toward Gratitude,
In my times of Sorrow
May my tears wash clean the small hurts.

Great Mother Earth, Father Sky
Hear my prayers.

Asking for Guidance

Great Spirit, hear our prayer.
The world is changing so much, so very fast.
Guide us toward Hope,
Teach us the ways of Compassion.
Great Spirit, hear our prayer.

With all the technology, people are moving away from human contact.
Guide us toward Kindness,
Teach us the ways of Comfort.
Great Spirit, hear our prayer.

Great Spirit, hear our prayer.
Guide us to live with an Open Heart
Teach us the way of Living in the Moment.
Great Spirit, hear our prayer.

Great Spirit, hear our prayer
Today, that we may live fully
In a Sacred Way.
Great Spirit, hear our prayer.

Blessing for the Old and the New

Great Spirit, we stand today
A thin veil between the passing year
Awaiting the coming new.

To add to this great Mystery of turning calendar pages
Great Spirit, you have gifted us a Blue Moon.
Something that comes usually but once a year.
To this is added a sky wonder of a Lunar Eclipse.
Reminding us there is much old business to attend.

Great Spirit, Father Time, guide us with Courage,
That we may look at what no longer serves us,
Us as singular beings and US as collective beings.
Guide us toward the highest good.
May we be grateful for the teachings of this past year,
Some bringing sorrow, others joy and laughter.

Great Spirit, Father Time, guide us with Hope and Open Hearts,
For there is much wonder and mystery before us.
Teach us the ways of looking behind for the growth,
Not in anger and hurt.
Teach and guide us that Love, Peace, and Compassion
Are the path.
Guide us with and in Kindness.

Great Spirit, Father Time,
We are children coming to the party
This eve, full of excitement for what may be;
Guide us to hold that place of excitement and awe
A place that has no expectations.
All is Mystery and Wonder.
Father Time, we thank you for this last year
With all that we lived.
We look forwarded to the new image of you as a baby.
How wonderful to be reminded that sometimes, something dies
For the new to come in to being.
Thank you Great Spirit, Father Time
May the New Year bring Prosperity, Health and Love
To all.

Stumble and Fall...

Creator Mother
Guide me,
To understand my obstacles,
That they may show me a gentler way to be.
When I stumble and fall,
It is not that I am failing,
I have tripped because my eyes were shut.
Allow my heart to open to all.
Invite my emotions to be true to the moment.
Not some long ago hurt or situation.

Creator Mother,
Soften the words of anger against myself,
For when I am kinder to myself,
I find my kindness flows like a river.
Guide me to use what is no longer needed by me
To create a loving space for others.
Help me to create a community of caring.

Creator Mother,
Teach me the ways of being alone.
Warp your love around me, when I am lonely.
I have learned these two spaces are different.
It is the lonely that I struggle with.
Teach me to be gentle here,
That I can move forward with compassion.

Creator Mother,
Help me to be there for friend and enemy when
We stumble and fall.
We are all your children, all in need of love.
Guide me in love.
I give Thanks for this day.

Grateful for Choice

Ah, Creator,
Today I wake and know
You have given me a gift.
I can choose,
how I will interact with the world today.
I ask for guidance,
Gratitude, Compassion, Hope
Forgiveness.
Needing less, sharing more.
Yes, it is a gift
This right of Choice.
May I choose a path of kindness.
Blessings I offer to you, Creator.
May you find pleasure in my choices.

Veterans Day November 11th

Dear Lord, I beg you
Guide us humans to compassion and respect.
Teach us to live without War.
Dear Lord, as we still find it necessary
To belittle, to fight, to have power over
Our neighbors, as well as those we don't even know
I ask that you keep our Soldiers safe,
Guide them from the heart in what they are asked to do.
I ask that you bring them home.
That all Soldiers may look each other in the eye
To truly see that We are all not so different.
Dear Lord,
Guide us to compassion and respect.

Morning has Broken

Dear Creator
Thank you for this day.
I ask for your guidance in all that I do.
Teach me the ways of Compassion and Gratitude.
Guide my work to be pleasing to you.
Thank you for this day
Dear Creator.

Guide me with your Compassion

Sweet Mother Earth, Sweet Grandmother Moon
I pray to you both today
Guide me toward my Compassionate Heart.
I find it toward others, yet the struggle
Compassion for myself.
I find so very difficult.

Sweet Mother Earth, Sweet Grandmother Moon
I pray guide me with your Compassion.
Teach me the ways, calm, struggle, compassion.
I watch your moods, the tides of emotion.
Guide me with your Compassion.

Sweet Mother Earth, Sweet Grandmother Moon,
Guide me toward myself.
I thank you for your sweet Grace.
Filled with your story, I too
Will guide others toward their Compassionate Heart.

Guidance

Divine Guidance

I know that I stumble and fall.
I know that I am strong and proud.
Guide me this day,
In the ways of Compassion,
Gentleness, Forgiveness.
Guide me with your

That I may become all that I am.
That is enough!
Guide me, today.
Thank you.
