Aún florece

Sending out a little love and hope on this Easter Sunday. May today remind you that all things bloom in their own time, and that includes you. Keep reaching up and may you be surrounded by songs of resistance to help you hold on when the wind blows fierce.
​
It's always a special joy to create prayers or poems for my Unitarian Universalist church. I enjoy the freedom to invoke the divine in its many forms and celebrate the spirits all around us.

​Let us join our hearts in a shared moment of reflection and prayer.

Aún florece el jardín

Though the ground
Be cold and hard and weary
Still the garden blooms

Even as tender earth
Is laden with longing
New bulbs do grow

Aún florece la alegría
Cuando más se nos escapan
Las sonrisas

El sol
Shines forth
With new fervor
Each day stronger
Y cada día
Se queda un ratito más

May there be
Gardeners of spirits
Around all who sprout
Whisper 
Las canciones
De resistencia 
Below the rumble on the ridge
So when the wind rushes by
Our petals hold fast
And we can look upwards once more

May all know
At whatever stage they
Find themselves in
In waiting, in sprouting, in careful rest,
Deep below there is always
A trembling of life
The garden still blooms
Aún florece el jardín 

Que así sea. Bendito sea. Amén.
May it be so. Blessed be. Amen.
