Seek the truth and open your heart. It will set you free.
“Today I’m flying low and I’m not saying a word I’m letting all the voodoos of ambition sleep. The world goes on as it must, the bees in the garden rumbling a little, the fish leaping, the gnats getting eaten. And so forth. But I’m taking the day off. Quiet as a feather. I hardly move though really I’m traveling a terrific distance. Stillness. One of the doors into the temple.” ~ Mary Oliver

While you rest
“quiet as a feather”, and travel… here is:
a benediction
may you rest easy and open
may your breathing be easy and open
may your view be easy and open
may your hands be easy and open
may your gift be easy and open
may your movement be easy and open
may your heart be easy and open
may we all rest easy and open;
may our view, our hands,
our hearts, our breathing,
our movement and our gift –
may these, may these
be easy and open …
