Hope blooms

Great Goddess,
Sweet Mother Earth,
In my struggle and sorrow,
You guide me in beauty.
I am most grateful.

Great Goddess,
Sweet Mother Earth,
I am honoured by your belief in me.
My eyes open to the wonder surrounding me.

Great Goddess,
Sweet Mother Earth,
I feel your waking,
Smell it in my growth.
See it in the Hope that blooms.

Great Goddess,
Sweet Mother Earth,
Hold and guide me in sorrow,
Teach me to keep an open Heart.
Let me not lose the path of Love.

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.

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.

Hope, Spring is coming!

Sweet Mother Earth
Thank you!
There's snow still on the ground.
Yet I smell Spring in the air.
I see the new green leaves.
And yesterday-
Mother Earth
I was blessed with little flowers growing!
They were hiding under a snow bank.
Oh, the wonders you gift!
Sweet Mother Earth~
Hope is truly in the air
Spring! It feels like it has been a very
Long Winter's nap.
Your Spring waking.
Hope
The signs and sounds circle us.
Our eyes to open.
Thank you!
