A Blessing in Hard Times

May you know a safe space for big emotions,

Freedom to feel and express discomfort and pain,

The presence of flickering light among overwhelming shadows

And even small moments of unexpected joy.

May you know permission to ask for what you need and provision for when you don’t know,

Comfort in the largest and littlest of ways

And the kindness of community that upholds your hope when it’s hard to grip or even sense.
