life serves up whirlpools
the unrest, the spirals, the twists
walk through the swirls with hands held
look for the edges
know that two will find the calm
know there are gentle waters ahead

may the sun bring you new energy by day.
may the moon softly restore you by night.
may the rain wash away your worries.
may the breeze blow new strength into your being.
may you walk gently through the world and know its beauty all the days of your life. -apache blessing-
