in the midst of things going wrong
may we know happiness
even in the darkest of times
if we only remember
to turn on the marvellous light
lumos
O Gentle Giant, enchant our eyes,
that we may see your mystery
pause
Let us avoid stress and worry
over situations we can’t control
We solemnly swear to seek the common good
reflect
What’s a weakness of yours that you are passionate about?
“Isn’t he beautiful? Hagrid murmured. He reached out a hand to stroke the dragon’s head”
– Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Chapter 14: Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback
Help us live this Muggle day to the full
helping others when they need us most
Help us carry awareness of life’s magic
into every moment, in every breath
