Immense gratitude

 Roses, blossoms, the world blooming

bursting, thrusting upwards, outwards

Soul expanding, soul rising

embracing new growth, new beginnings

Spring to Summer, birth and growth

Deepening and strenghtening

Filled with gratitude

The work towards the fruition

Gratitude and immense satisfaction

for the recognition, reinforcing

The joy of being appreciated.

So blessed by all, the new home, the sea,

the land around and near me

the people of this community

The love and the ongoing work

The strong connections 

the giving and receiving

the growing and the blossoming

(Susannah)

The beauteous lustre of the world 

Compels me from the depth of soul 

That I release to cosmic flight

 The godly force of my own life: 

To leave myself below, 

And trusting, seek myself 

In cosmic light and cosmic warmth.

(Rudolf Steiner)

A Pagan gratitude prayer

To the East, for the new beginnings

 and the rising sun.

To the South, for the warmth, the summer,

 and the growing green.

To the West, for the evening, the waters, 

and the setting sun.

To the North, for the ancestors, the snows, and the grounding earth.

To the Above, the Father Sky 

and the starry realms.

To the Below, the Mother Earth 

and the roots of all things.

To the Center, our own hearts 

and the fire that lives within.

We give thanks to the wild spirits 

who dwell in these spaces.

We honor the winged, the crawling,

 the swimming, and the rooted ones.

All my relations.

28th May ~ Beach Singing Circle at sunset

Now that my senses are at home

 on high I hear my soul re-echo

 from her depths 

 A Fiery message from the gods 

 ‘Welcome the hint; 

 Seek your own deep relation to spirit 

 In the spirit’s own foundation”. 

 ~Calendar of the soul verse 13 by Rudolf Steiner

The splendor of Nature's beauty 

Lures me out of my soul depths 

To liberate for cosmic flight 

The divine forces of my own existence. 

To abandon myself, yet trusting 

And seeking myself alone 

In cosmic light, and cosmic warmth
