A Blessing for Depression

Bless those souls who are deeply depressed.

Let them know 

their inner light is more resilient

 than the clumsiness of humanity 

and the ups and downs of daily life. 

Let them know

 that their presence is needed in our world,

that in the small everyday moments of life

they make a difference.

Let them know

 that in the depths of their despair

they only need to hold on so they can

evolve beyond the pain. 

Let them know

that whilst much of their pain is very personal, 

there is also a collective pain
and deep sorrow running through our world
 as we try to reconnect to each other 

and to our mother earth. 

Their soul is needed for this evolutionary journey and 

others share their pain.

Help them to float free 

of their addictions and self-harming habits 

so they can truly love themselves and others unconditionally.  

Warm their heart with sunshine, 

grace their eyes with your beauty and 

set them free from their pain.
