May the sun bring you new energy by day
May the moon softly restore you by night
May the rain wash away your worries
May the breeze blow new strength into your being
May you walk gently through the world and know its beauty
All the days of your life.
Apache Blessing
This blessing is so meaningful. How many of us truly walk gently through the world? Most of us speed through each day, rushing to complete all the things on our "to do" lists. We barely have time to kiss our loved ones goodbye in the morning. Hurry, hurry, hurry is the mantra of so many days of our lives.
Do we really know the beauty of the world? Do we take time to look up into the sky and see the incredible loveliness of cloud formations? Or see the outline of tree branches in the winter? Do we look at the intracacies of a rose? Smell its exquisite fragrance?
When it rains, do we think of it as washing away our worries?
The Apache blessing has been taped to our refrigerator for some time now. It is a needed reminder to walk gently, let the sun energize, and know the beauty of the world each day.
Do you identify with the blessing?
