🌿 Circle of Peace — Honoring the Elements 🌿
Listen to Podcast
This morning, the Tree of Serendipity opened to Earth Prayers: From Around the World — 365 Prayers, Poems, and Invocations for Honoring the Earth. The passage that appeared speaks to the great elements — Earth, Fire, Air, Water, and Sound — and includes two ancient prayers of reverence: one from the Yokuts people, and another from the Congregation of Abraxas.
These voices remind us that the elements are not abstractions, but living presences — powers that ground, nourish, inspire, and carry us. Reading them, I felt the deep truth that peace is not something apart from life. Peace is the Earth beneath us, the Fire that warms us, the Water that heals, the Air that renews, and the Sound that carries our song.
Early this morning I touched that truth through simple practice — breath, bowing to the Sun, listening instead of forcing. In surrendering to peace, I realized how much energy had been spent trying to figure things out. The tiredness that followed was not a problem but an invitation — to rest, to let the elements hold me, to let grace carry me.
✨ May this episode be a circle of belonging — a reminder that in every direction there is guidance and blessing. East brings fresh eyes, South brings joy, West brings renewal, North brings wisdom, Above rains inspiration, Below nourishes us deeply. At the center of it all, may peace arise and radiate outward.
Om Shanti… Om Shanti… Om Shanti Ma.🌿✨
