Prayer for All Our Children

May you walk the path of beauty.
Know the direction of home is always within you.
Feel the daily benediction of
earth and wind
sun and water.

May you gather your strength
from walking in truth
respecting ancient wisdom
and living honorably.

May you know the songs
of the moon and tides
that nothing is lost or dies
only continues it river journey
to the sea
where cloud becomes vapor
and vapor, water
and water, drop and drop
ocean.

May wonder fill your eyes and your breathing.
May you feel the strength of the mountains
as you live as the fountain of love
a harbor of welcome
a place of sanctuary for your own heart
and know that well of peace
springing from your luminous soul.
