Holiday Benediction

Holiday Benediction

Christmas Eve morning,
I pondered how lovely if our power to bless were reclaimed.

I put aside the bling: wrapping paper, packages, and bows
and when I did, heard deep within, “you are a gift.”
Many faces of loved ones appeared:
relatives, friends, sangha members,
creatures of this land, furred and winged,
evergreen trees, sun, stars and a sliver’s moon...
gifts all.

A wealth is held within sacred form,
richness shines beyond measure,
capacity for beauty, love, stillness,
respect and tender mercy.
How lovely this season
to reclaimed our power to bless—
You, Most Precious One, are a gift.
