Power Prayer

I am a powerful being, no less than god herself.
Let me use my power for good today,
and let all good things come from my being in my power.

I influence my daughter, my clients, my students.
Let me always be conscious and aware,
to be as supportive and encouraging as possible,
demonstrating the tools and modeling the habits
that have helped me on my path.

Let me feel in control -
Of my emotions, my money, my life.
I allow myself order and routine, the creation of systems that work,
and overall improvements in all areas of my life.
I am active in my own evolution.

Let me manage my energies wisely,
and appreciate all my assets
- love, intelligence, health, wealth, and property.

Let me pass the power stick when my turn is done -
I step up to being Leader and I keep the pace as a Follower.
I help others achieve their goals, which helps me achieve mine.

Let me take charge of my life,
holding onto the reins of desire to impel my being forth.
I now use my power to acheive my deepest ambitions and heartfelt goals.
I am empowered by everything today.

Blessed be.

Hummingbird Magic

Hummingbird teaches us to laugh, to appreciate the magic of being alive, & the truth of beauty. There is something in our souls that wants to hover at beautiful moments in our lives, making them freeze in time. There is something in us that wants to fly backwards and savor once more the beautiful past. Some of us are just hummingbird people. -Larry Gates

This morning Poppy brought in a hummingbird. I managed to get it from the cat, and sat on the deck in the sun, holding it between my hands, sending it reiki, wondering what to do next. Deciding to ask an expert, I woke up my daughter, who said "Put it in a shoebox and call Grandma." 

We rustled up a pencil box, and lined it with a soft cloth. I found a small bottlecap, added some sugar water, and left it to rest. After 20 minutes, Amber checked on it, and of course,  the hummer escaped into the kitchen. I caught it again, and it just sat on my finger as I took it out into the garden. Amber came to take a picture, and at the flash of the camera, the hummingbird buzzed away... So magical. What a blessing.

I have been thinking about this all day. The iridescent green feathers, the practically fuscia pink throat, the feeling of that tiny heartbeat just thrumming against my palm... The long black beak, those deep brown eyes, blinking at me, as I whispered over and over "May you be released from suffering, may you be released from fear, may you be released from pain." 

Today I got to hold joy in my hands, and I released joy to the sky...

Cosmic Giggles

The universe is a delightful place
A child's playground of wonder
Where laughter is the best medicine
And knowledge is power
Let me always hear
Coyote's cosmic giggle
Let me always remember
To laugh at myself...
