Blessing the New Year:

In the Circle and Mystery of Life
there is no Beginning or End.
Seasons Change One to Another
Moving Seamlessly,
Affecting the Heart of Creation.
Sleeping or Awake, it Doesn't Matter,
The Drum Beats of Eternity
Continue Blessing
Us with Renewal, Rest,
and Infinite Possibilities.
The Moon and Tides
Carry on their Graceful Dance,
Ebbing and Flowing they Whisper
Softly to the Night Sky.
Balanced by Each Other's Strengths,
Yielding and Blending,
the Power of Unity,
a Lesson for All.
The Gift of a New Year Before Us.
Steps Taken to Arrive,
are Important
Only in the Fact
of Who We have Now
Become.
May Hearts and Minds Remember
All those we Hold Dear.
May the Wisdom of Choices
Guide our Footsteps of Tomorrow.
May Our Experiences Mirror
the Beauty
of this Sacred Circle
We are Born Into.
Knowing We are All Connected,
Trusting the Reflection of Our Spirits
Shimmering on Ocean Waters,
Under the Blessed Light
of the Full Moon.
