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 façade 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.
