before you:  promise.

behind you: presence.

beneath you: integrity.

around you: source.

within you: joy.

may what you see be what you wish.  may what you know serve you well.  may what you sing bring kindness to others. may all you give bring mercy in a circle back to you. and may you be confident in the hand that will always be extended between you and your friend.

like the trees: may you stand/ firm/ ever reaching.  in the wind: ever bending. in the rich and healthy sail may you be ever rooted in your own knowing of the source of all things.
