BLESSING FOR THE MORNING LIGHT (by David Whyte)

 

The blessing of the morning light to you,

may it find you even in your invisible

appearances, may you be seen to have risen

from some other place you know and have known

in the darkness and that carries all you need.

May you see what is hidden in you as a place

of hospitality and shadowed shelter,

may what is hidden in you become your gift

to give, may you hold that shadow to the light

and the silence of that shelter to the word

of the light, may you join all of your previous

disappearances with this new appearance,

this new morning, this being seen again,

new and newly alive.
