may you find love

enough to fill any holes

may you find healing

enough to cover any wounds

may you find hope

enough to keep your dreams alive

may everything that was taken from you, return to you as joy

may all your failures grow into

courage

may you find yourself brave enough to try again, and again

and again

may you find a soft place to rest

where you can take off everything that is not yours to carry

may your bones carry peace

may your heart be a rich valley

may your name be a home to anyone who finds themselves lost

may your mouth own all the words that taste like wonder

and no matter who you were, who you are, or who you choose to become

may you always be found by the light.
