October 5 · An original Monday blessing

A little room for wonder.

There is no perfect mood required for beginning again. A little tenderness can belong beside your ambition. A quiet moment can still be yours.

May the day leave room for you.
May the noise loosen its hold.
May something small and lovely
find you in the ordinary.

May your yes feel like your own.
May your no arrive without apology.
May the thing you are becoming
have room to unfold.

Some beginnings are barely visible. They still count.
