Prayer for Reanna’s birthday:

May the peace of simple pleasures pass over us in the joy of effortless communion as the union of harmony holds the hearth in the heart of the home, as comfort and compassionate care can be found everywhere, in the way the words are spoken and energy shared.

All that are here, are meant to be here, living into the equanimity of our heart song, secure in the story of our journey and innocence of identity.

Delight be free in pure ecstasy, without shame or worry.

The grounded tree, a rock in the sea, rides the waves without wavering and as the dream keeps unfolding, every memory lives in the body upon returning to all the homes from which we took our leave.

This is a homecoming of deep remembering, a reunion of reconciliation in the recollection of redemption in the great turning.

The tide is shifting into prosperity, the promise of provision on the horizon, a new day dawning, a fresh start in the season of autumn approaching.

The abundance of harvest is almost upon us, the excitement in the air, a palpable pause, both in the grief of how the summer has been of service and how it also took something from us, and left us a gift of even greater emptiness in the presence of our own centeredness, having learned to love forgiveness and say yes to all the rest, with nothing left but acceptance to move into even deeper gratefulness, with an openness to the process, trust has found us, and captured all our breath.

We sit in the stillness of silence and ask how to repay our debts, and in humility, ask for painful forgiveness at the point of admittance of our mistakes, this is grace; to release ourselves from fear in wiping our conscience clear and drawing ever more near to the moment that is here.

The shine is on our face, and we have found an open space, nothing left to chase, just sit and relax, unfurl our heart, and enjoy the company of total well being.

We've grown up, we've left the old land, here is a new plan, we may not yet understand, but peace is ever present, so we need not be hesitant, all is but a sentiment of unconditional contentment.

May we find fulfillment in complete alignment, we are well enough as we are, as evidenced by the reality we have already made it this far.

So settle in, dear friends, and let the festivities begin.

This is an end to what once was and a start to a story we're only just now telling, so sell whatever doubt you have left and rest in your breath, there is great goodness in knowing this is the best.

My only request is to go with your yes, bow to every guest, and fill your chest with the awareness: you are blessed.

Exhaust all of your burdens, and let them go, soft and slow, be gathered together in self solidarity and see, you know how wonderful it can be, come remember it with me. We are free.

Happy birthday, Re.
