Wake at dawn with a winged heart

and give thanks for another day of loving.

~ Khalil Gibran

🌹 Rosa ‘Summer Romance’ from our rose garden, August 2023

 

may we live the true joy in our hearts

may we know and live the peace that passes all understanding

may our relationships be deeply loving & kind

and may we be fully present with each other

may we encounter beauty and magic and awe daily

may we be in constant gratitude

we may look at each other and the world through eyes of Love

and see the beings of Light that we are

may we rest unwaveringly as the stillness within



May I be a blessing for all beings.

May you be a blessing for all beings.

Rosa 'Peace'

Peace be with you. May my peace reside within you. Guard carefully that no one misleads you saying, “Look he is here,” or He’s over there,” for the Son of Humanity already exists within you. Follow him, for those who seek him there will find him.

~ from The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, Jesus speaking to his disciples

Rosa 'Black Baccara'

May I be at peace.

May my heart remain open.

May I be aware of my true nature.

May I be healed.

May I be a source of healing to others.

May I dwell in the breath of God.

~ Saint Teresa of Avila

🌹 Rosa ‘Black Baccara’, a gift from my dear cousin, Julie, from her rose garden in Chilliwack, BC, July 2021

Deep peace of the running wave to you.

Deep peace of the flowing air to you.

Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.

Deep peace of the shining stars to you.

Deep peace of the gentle night to you.

Moon and stars pour their healing light on you.

Deep peace of Christ,

of Christ, the light of the world, to you.

Deep peace of Christ to you.

~ a Gaelic Blessing


Deep peace I breathe into you

Oh weariness here, O ache, here!

Deep peace, a soft white dove to you;

Deep peace, a quiet rain to you;

Deep peace, an ebbing wave to you!

Deep peace, red wind of the east from you;

Deep peace, gray wind of the west to you;

Deep peace, dark wind of the north from you;

Deep peace, blue wind of the south to you!

Deep peace, pure red of the flame to you;

Deep peace, pure white of the moon to you;

Deep peace, pure green of the grass to you;

Deep peace, pure brown of the living earth to you;

Deep peace, pure gray of the dew to you;

Deep peace, pure blue of the sky to you!

Deep peace of the running wave to you,

Deep peace of the flowing air to you,

Deep peace of the quiet Earth to you,

Deep peace of the sleeping stones to you,

Deep peace of the yellow shepherd to you,

Deep peace of the wandering shepherdess to you,

Deep peace of the Flock of Stars to You.

Deep Peace of the Son of Peace to You.

Deep peace, Deep Peace.

~ old Irish Blessing of Peace

 

Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.

I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.  

I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others.

I am going to benefit others as much as I can. 

~ His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

Rosa 'Brenda Viney'

Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.

~ Native American Proverb

🌹 Rosa ‘Brenda Viney’ from our rose garden, July 2017

May the blessing of light be on you - light without and light within. May the blessed sunlight shine on you like a great peat fire, so that stranger and friend may come and warm herself at it. And may light shine out of the two eyes of you like a candle set in the window of a house, bidding the wanderer come out of the storm. And may the blessing of rain be on you, may it beat upon your Spirit and wash it fair and clean, and leave there a shining pool where the blue of Heaven shines, and sometimes a star. And may the blessing of the earth be on you, soft under your feet as you pass along the roads, soft under you as you lie out on it, tired at the end of day; and may it rest easy over you when, at last, you lie out under it. May it rest so lightly over you that your soul may be out from under it quickly; up and off and on its way to God. And now may the Lord bless you and bless you kindly.  

~ Scottish Blessing

May you be blessed beyond measure and may you be a blessing beyond measure.

May you be peaceful. May you be happy. May you be well. May you be safe. May you be free from suffering. May you be liberated.
