Quote of the Day

May you learn to welcome both joy and sorrow
as guests bearing gifts.

May you cherish all voices within you and know
each holds a place for your wholeness

May you never hide from wonder and
curiosity's enlivening dance within you

May you feel the love of your ancestors
watching over you and let your heart seek their
guidance

May you awaken to ever widening circles of
Truth

May you know the deep interconnection of all
beings and hold reverence for the planet that
sustains you

May you listen to the shy voice of soul that can
lead you into your deepest calling

May your ability to hold compassion keep
expanding so that love guides your way
~ Glenn Siegel, "Blessing," in HOWLING WITH GRATITUDE AND GRIEF
