Rosemary's Blessing: 

What Is Success

by Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure
the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give of one's self;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and
sung with exultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived –
This is to have succeeded.

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

    May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.

    May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

    May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

    Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

    It is there for each and every one of us.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    Gracious God inspire us with the hope in the gift of shalom, the gift of wholeness and the promise of your presence.

    Give wisdom to seek nonviolence as an answer to the violence of our lives and world.

    Give us courage to seek wholeness in a fractured and divided world, to find reconciliation rather than revenge, to abandon the instruments of violence and death and entrust our lives, our homes and our families to you.

    May your presence fill us and others with the thirst for unity, wholeness, and the desire to see all people valued as created in your image.

    May we and others receive your shalom, that we might be faithful instruments of your love.

    Blessed be your name forever,

    Amen.

    True?

    The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention….A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.
