in the middle of our story
may we know happiness
even in the darkest of times
if we only remember
to turn on the marvellous light

O Inner Voice of Intuition, enchant our eyes,
that we may see your mystery

Let us discover our passions, our gifts,
and how to stand up for what we believe in

trying new things in pursuit of our calling
Help us carry awareness of life’s magic
into every moment, in every breath
