Opening

Kiss the ground of your life.
Hold tenderly the wounds of your heart.
Bless them, for they have brought you here.
Weep for the cries of the suffering world,
for they are your own heart.
Embrace the thorny places of your life.
Do not run from them.
Hear them, listen to them.
Heal, transform.
Be who you already are.
