Arigatou Gozaimasu! To All Who Made Our Shelterbox Vision a Reality!
Arigatou Gozaimasu to Thom Brommerich for these beautiful Flower photos! Thank you for your kindness in letting me use them.
Forever Oneness,
who sings to us in silence,
who teaches us through each other.
Guide my steps with strength and wisdom.
May I see the lessons as I walk,
honor the Purpose of all things.
Help me touch with respect,
always speak from behind my eyes.
Let me observe, not judge.
May I cause no harm,
and leave music and beauty after my visit.
When I return to forever
may the circle be closed
and the spiral be broader.
~ Bee Lake ~
(an Aboriginal poet)
The Names that follow are like the music and beauty of a litany of prayers whispered in the early morning light, a moment of grace amidst the interminable struggles that may sometimes overwhelm. I Breathe in and out and am thankful, always for them.
