Dear Caminoheads,

Yes. Some days call for poems, others for beauty, many for a double double-coffee with chocolate cake and lots of them for blessings… Blessings for this thing we humans do which is crossing frontiers, moving from one stage to the other, trespassing thresholds, growing from child to adolescent, etc… we are always on movement, and we certainly need blessings for the crossings, but also blessings for the stops. The stops are not only needed to recover energy, but also to appreciate what we have.

Today, is one of those days that call for a stop and a blessing. This one is one I truly love. Hope you too.

 

Now is the time to free the heart,
Let all intentions and worries stop,
Free the joy inside the self,
Awaken to the wonder of your life.

 

Open your eyes and see the friends,
Whose hearts recognize your face as kin,
Those whose kindness watchful and near,
Encouraging you to live everything here.

 

See the gifts the years have given,
Things your effort could never earn,
The health to enjoy who you want to be
And the mind to mirror mystery.

 

Joyful loves for having been seen,

Cris
