Sunrise
Sunrise occurred this morning,everywhere
Arising in majesty, like any moment
peeking over the shoulder of time passed.
The vanishing night
Grateful for another day, I vow to enter many moments with mindful joy.
Grateful for another day I offer lovingkindness to myself and everyone.
Grateful for another day I rest in the center of being and intend to return as best I can.
With each burgeoning moment,
more golden light floods my consciousness.
Breathing in I become luminous
Breathing in, I am open to whatever arises:
Difficulties and delights, loss and fruition, pain and pleasure, troubles and ease,
Each one, deserving of my consideration and gentle care.
As they are all my children.
I intend to love them;
holding them with tenderness and
knowing them deeply.
Some requiring great attention. Some happily playing on their own.
Remember, remember, attend to every one.
As they grow up into wholesomeness and joyful existence, beyond the scope of any words to describe,
Together they become a family in the home
of a happy life.
May this content benefit you, those you love, and all sentient beings, everywhere.
