In you and in your days

May your eyes not weep the tears of those who do not want to know them.

May your heart not suffer the pain that so many understand deep within their minds.

May your steps not walk a path closed in a circle, when there is so much Beauty to discover.

May your shoulders not bear responsibilities and guilt that are not yours.

May your hands not take on the work that belongs to others.

May you not lose your smile, no matter how sad the lips of others may be.

May your mind not reproduce the fears of those who do not understand.

May lies not cover your precious eyes, and may you be able to see beyond,

beyond apparent pain,

beyond inexplicable abuse,

beyond intolerable mistreatment,

beyond programmed manipulation,

beyond sought poverty,

beyond self-imposed prisons.

May you be able to appreciate all the love hidden in every single creation of this world, which you now journey through.

May you inhabit this body that embraces you,

celebrate the fortune of living

and the blessing that springs in you and from you.

Light, Peace, and Love in You and in your days.
