We awaken not only at our first arising, but throughout the day, as we drift into the mists of confusion and stress, pulled ever-farther away from the peace that the Gracious Spirit gives.
Awake to peace, recalled to ourselves and to our God, we become the radiant Light-bearers we are called to be: calm and strong.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you;
My peace I give to you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled;
do not be afraid.
Breathe deep
tranquil
as a summer breeze
gentle
gentle
gentle;
Let your heart dance
love
fragrant
as rose petals
gentle
gentle
gentle;
Sing peace
tenderly
carefully
care
fully
gentle
gentle
gentle;
Bless softly
release
refresh
renew
gentle
gentle
gentle;
Awaken radiantly
alive
aware
joyful
gentle
gentle
gentle.
Breathe deep.
Awaken radiant.
