May this be a year that –
…I live into the paradox of being an active participant in
life, while simultaneously acknowledging (and accepting) my lack of control
over most of it.
…I am sensitive to “the fullness of time,” the gift the
universe is pregnant with; ready to move at the unexpected moment, to accompany
and assist during the glorious travail of the birth of new life that is at
hand.
…I am mindful of my thoughts, words and actions and how
these influence my well-being and that of those around me.
…I am sensitive to the larger narrative, the complex layers and connections that compose
and complicate the lives of individuals, communities and eco-systems.
…I nourish life,
making way for the good to flourish while working to diminish what is
destructive, practicing mindfulness and compassion in order to relieve
suffering and avoid doing harm.
…I am more concerned with being loving than correct,
widening the view through the lens of mercy, seeking more to know truth than to
be right, trusting God more than myself, pursuing the Way rather than my way.
…I am breathing in and breathing out, giving and receiving –
I am alive.
