MANY BLESSINGS

[David Sparenberg]

You are the fragile perhaps forgotten the betrayed and the endangered, you are the vulnerable yet a vessel for wisdom-primordial and a life hidden from freedom over time. You are the uncertain and unknown neglected soul and a soul ambiguous. Yet you are a visionary a myth-dreamer dancer and a pathfinder of subtle dimensions and primal energies.

You are the “yes” and the shaman of mutual salvation, a monumental miniature of messiah and one light-breather meditating in the cavern of darkness. Yet you are the menacing choice of wrong direction and yet you are the healing pivot of revolutionary turning.

May fire and water bless you with a heavenly magic. May prayers lend you wings for the uplifting and the re-enchantment of this Earth. May the day reward you and violence learn to fear your tenderness and the integrity of your gentle ways. May the day reward you and the horizon of promise, from the house of spirit, greet and caress your face. May you be remembered in the aching witness of strangers and may you be remembered in the laughter and longing of others.

May the day reward you, may this happen, and love be your only shadow.
