The
most beautiful gifts
the ones you give to me
that wisdom of yours
that comes with the years
that clear vision of the world.
Those words of insight
compassion and understanding
that support and
all that love
-life sustaining love unconditional.
The most beautiful gifts are the
ones you have given
to me.

Weave
for us a garment of brightness
May the warp be the white light of morning
May the weft be the red light of evening
May the
fringes be the falling rain
May the border be the standing rainbow
Thus weave for us a garment of brightness
that we may walk
fittingly where birds sing
that we may walk fittingly where grass is green

Blessing Chant
Just as water flowing in the streams and rivers fills the ocean, Thus may all your moments of goodness, touch
and benefit all beings~~ those here now and those gone before.
May all your wishes be soon fulfilled as completely
as the moon on a full moon night. May all dangers be averted ; may all disease leave you.
May no obstacles come
across your way and may you enjoy happiness and long life.
May those who are always respectful, honoring the
way of the elders, prosper in the four blessings of old age, beauty, happiiness and strength.

The Perfume of sandalwood, rosebay or jasmine, cannot travel against the wind
But the fragrance of virtue travels even against the wind
as far as the ends of the world.
LIke garlands woven from a heap of flowers
fashion from your life
as many good deeds.
from Dhammapada

Let
us tread softly but surely
Keeping our own quiet counsel
drawing on our own sound judgement
Listening to the voice within our own heart
Listening to ourselves
trusting ourselves
Then moving forward
Becoming the whole person
we were meant to
be.
