a blessing of solitude





.
.
May you recognize in your life the presence, 
power, and light of your soul.
.
May you realize that you are never alone, 
that your soul in its brightness and belonging connects
you intimately with the rhythm of the universe.
.
May you have respect for your own individuality and difference.
.
May you realize that the shape of your soul is unique, 
that you have a special destiny here, 
that behind the facade of your life there is something beautiful, 
good, and eternal happening.
.
May you learn to see yourself with the same delight, 
pride, and expectation with which God sees you in every moment.
.
