May dawn find you awake and alert,
approaching your new day with
dreams, possibilities, and promises.
May evening find you gracious and fulfilled.
May you go into the night blessed, sheltered, and protected.
May your soul calm, console, and renew you.
(John O’Donohue’s “A Blessing” in For Lovers of God Everywhere: Poems of the Christian Mystics, Hay House Inc. 2009)
