Beyond the Words

Originally written for my "Step Into 2022!" workshop as the closing blessing.

As you walk into this new year
bearing the gift of you
stepping with renewed intention
into the mystery,
May you discover
it bears your weight
and carries you closer
step by step
toward a good
yet to be imagined.

While I was happy with the words of this blessing, somehow it still felt incomplete. I realized I didn’t want to just read it and hear it. I wanted to SEE this blessing! So I gave it a visual form, and it ended up being a really WIDE piece in order to capture the sense of walking forward. In the discovery process (leaping off that cloud of mystery) there's often a space - an empty sense of free fall, of holding our breath and not being sure quite where we might land. Then we land, and are launched up and into what's next! The half of a pink dot at the far right is a hint that the path keeps going...that there is always more to discover, step by step.

Wishing this blessing for you as well!
