A Blessing Of Solitude

May you recognize in your life the presence,
power and light of your soul.


May you realize that you are never alone,
that your soul in its brightness and belonging,
connects you intimately with the rhythm of the universe

May you respect our own individuality and difference.

May you realize that the shape of your soul is unique,
that you have a special destiny here,
that behind the facade of your life, there
is something beautiful, good, and eternal happening.

May you learn to see yourself with the same
delight, pride, and expectation with
which God sees you in every moment
