A Today Blessing



If today be a day of ordinary time for you
          if the hum and the drum of life are your reassurances
          if the sun and the rain dance lightly through your life this day
May you be blessed

If today be a day of standing up and being counted
          if you stand with the crowd, certain or uncertain why you are there
          if your life is offered up today in the hope of making a difference
May you be blessed

If today be a day of peace for you
          if the calm dwells within you amidst any storm
          if you are that picture of peace within and without shining forth for a world to see
May you be blessed

If today be a day of pain, fear, violence, conflict for you
          if all within you screams to run but there is no place to run
          if every fiber of your body calls for the answer of your fists even as you resist
May you be blessed
