Pause.

may the tide
that is entering even now
the lip of our understanding
carry you out
beyond the face of fear
may you kiss
the wind then turn from it
certain that it will
love your back may you
open your eyes to water
water waving forever
and may you in your innocence
sail through this to that

Lucille Clifton. “Blessing the Boats.”

May balance and harmony be your aim as you are drawn into the Heart of
Love.

Nan Merrill. From Psalm 132, Psalms for Praying: An Invitation to Wholeness
