i invite you to read this blessing aloud- to remember how deeply you belong to this world.
i am part soil.
i am part rain.
i am the forming clay.
i am all of the fields, mountains, and rocks / i am the landscape, taken shape and shifting still in every direction.
i breathe this way, grounded and growing.
i speak this way, grounded and growing.
i love this way, grounded and growing.
i am all of the light, dusk, and darkness / i am the morning and evening star, clockwork dancing and rooted still in perfect timing.
i breathe this way, precise and effortless.
i speak this way, precise and effortless.
i love this way, precise and effortless.
i am all of the rivers, lakes, and rains / i am the sea, flowing currents and cresting still in rising and falling.
i breathe this way, swelling and deep.
i speak this way, swelling and deep.
i love this way, swelling and deep.
i am all of the plants, insects, and animals / i am the soul, many bodies and dreaming still behind every eye that sleeps.
i breathe this way, here and awake.
i speak this way, here and awake.
i love this way, here and awake.
i am the forming clay.
i am part soil.
i am part rain.
i am homes within homes.
on loop
