Today, my heart is full of gratitude for each of you, for being here with me, day after day, in this sacred space. I appreciate the gift of your friendship. And I marvel at the faithfulness you show toward your spiritual journey. You inspire me!
Today, a poem of appreciation for you ...
"You are a kindred spirit!
Your faithfulness and honesty call forth the best in me.
When I am with you it is easy to laugh
and to dream
my soul comes to life.
my soul comes to life.
Because of you circles of friendship are widened
and gratitude wells up within me.
Your tears are important and touch the deepest part of me.
Your smile makes my heart dance
Your smile makes my heart dance
and being with you is being home.
The gift of your friendship blesses me and blesses the world.*"
No matter where you live or what spiritual path you embrace, may you experience the sacred within and without, every day of the year.
