From the shades of dreaming I arise. Calming Spirit, as I move into my day, remind me ever of those who do not have. Instill in me the immediate need to help others, as I, myself, have been helped. Bring blessings to those who are sick, hungry, and cold. May the Keeper of Healing wrap her mantle of protection around and about them, comforting them in their time of urgency. This day beckons me into remembrance. I beseech thee, Kind Mother, to gather unto yourself those who are scattered like so many leaves upon the wind. Bring them once again into the fold of your loving embrace, and fill them with your warmth and nourishment. May today begin a new awakening to the Earth, and may the souls of those who read this be uplifted. Blessings to those within and without the circle. My soul is made sain in the love of the Mother.
