A Blessing of Solitude

May you recognize in your life the presence, power, and light of your soul.
May you realize that you are never alone,
that your soul in its brightness and belonging connects you intimately with the rhythm of the universe.  ...
May you learn to see yourself with the same delight, pride, and expectation with which God sees you in every moment.
