Vernal Blessing

Vernal Blessing - in a time of pandemic

As winter gives over to spring
On this vernal equinox day
May we all find balance between
Light and dark,
Rest and activity,
Body and spirit.

In this time of great unknowing
May we trust the earth’s
Wisdom.
In this time of scarcity
May we experience
Abundance.
In this time of distancing
May we trust in God’s
Presence.

May we awaken,
Like bulbs and buds,
To this new reality
And rise to the occasion.
May each green
Shoot pushing out 
Through the brown leaves
Be a beacon of hope
For such a time as this.
