Rosemary’s Blessing:

it’s all a matter of surrender.
this one truth i’ve come to know.
nothing can be taken from you
once you’re willing to let go.

all the riches we have gathered
all the treasure that we seek,
all the earth and sky and oceans,
have been promised to the meek.

so, dance within the tune allotted,
whether it be brief or long,
pausing not to mark the measures;
rejoicing ever in the song.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

Gracious God, slow my pace and soften my heart this Christmas,

Keep me from rushing through the season, but missing the Way …

From decorating the tree, but missing the Light …

From wrapping the gifts, but missing the Gift.
