As the greening of the land continues, may I be ever blessed with the love of Mother. Bud of Knowledge, Bud of Growing, Bud of Gladness, three continuing threads to dwell within my soul. The babes of the nests are ready to take flight. Bless these little ones as they find their way in the world. The brightness of morning attends me as I cross these wandering tides. Even as I move through the shadows and glimmerings, I will find sweet rest at the end of the day. Mother of Gladness, make sain my soul in the growing light. May all within and without the circle be kept the safety of your embrace.
