A blessing for you

Hi, i have arrived as your new Presbytery minister Pastoral care and am on a steep learning curve. I am trying to renew this peace and make it useful for people. The idea is for us to share any prayers, poems or images that we have found useful, either for worship or for personal reflection.
to get hem up on the site you can email me at gordonbannon@gmail.com.au and i will post them for you.
“May i, may you, may we
Not die unlived lives.
May none of us live in fear
Of falling or catching fire.
May we choose to inhabit our days,
To allow our living to open us,
To make us less afraid,
More accessible,
To loosen our hearts
Until they become like wings,
Torches, promises.
May each of us choose to risk our significance;
To live so that which comes to us as seed
Goes to the next as blossom
And that which comes to us as blossom,
Goes on as fruit.”
Dawna Markova.
