The beginning of a new year often brings many of us to a place of reflection.
“What did I accomplish this year?” “What do I have to show for this passing of time?”
As I sit reflecting on the year that has passed, I find myself celebrating the most mundane things.
Delighted by the moments when being took over and doing was a distant thought.
Overjoyed that I’ve allowed pleasure and joy to permeate all corners of my life.
So, as we enter this next year, I offer you this:
A prayer for the mundane moments.
An offering of gratitude and magic for the most ordinary.
May planting your feet in the earth root you deeper into love, compassion and joy.
May the sun touching your skin show up as a divine miracle.
May the kiss of a new lover light up every corner of your soul.
May you find yourself dancing at crosswalks and singing in the rain.
May the alchemy of breath remind you of the miracle it is to be alive.
May the simplest things take that very breath away for just a moment.
May the smell of a rose unfurl the petals of your heart just a bit more.
May your voice carry the truth that is uniquely yours into this world.
May your dreams present themselves as visions of possibility.
May you approach each moment with respect and reverence, and may this upcoming year bring you deeper into relationship with pleasure and joy.
