NEW YEAR'S BLESSING

Here we stand

at the threshold of the new year which we call 2007

we acknowledge the ancient wisdom of ‘as above, so below’; as within, so without.

We call on the powers of the planets, the gods and goddesses of our inner and outer world.

We ask that we may transform according to that which is needed.

We ask that we may be a blessing to ourselves and others.

We call on the powers of the the movement from fire to earth that our home, our planet may heal and transform that life may flourish.

To Mars we offer our vitality and strength and the ability to know when to act;

To Jupiter we offer our enthusiasm for the teachings on the journey that, sooner or later, make us truly wise;

To Saturn we offer our willingness to do the work that we are called to do.

To Neptune we offer our dream of a better world for all living things.

To the Sun we offer our hearts desire.

To Mercury we offer our intention to know when to speak and when to remain silent.

To Uranus we pledge to do our best in times of swirling chaos even when it doesn’t swirl in our immediate vicinity.

To Pluto we accept that there is a season for everything; we acknowledge that true freedom is only possible when we surrender to that which IS even as we fervently offer our intentions for what could be.

Last and most intimate, we offer our selves to Our Mother the Earth and Her Mother the Moon.

To them we show our love and care by giving what we can, when we can to all those whose needs we can and cannot meet; including ourselves.

We offer our willingness to do that which sustains life for ourselves and our home – the planet on which we live.

May all beings be happy, may all beings be peaceful, may all beings be free from suffering.
