Blessings for the slow

\

I bless you to know your pace. 

I bless you to own your pace.

I bless you for all the ways you’ve had to hustle up stream.

I bless you to crawl when others demand you run.

I bless you to hug yourself for all the times you were rushed.

I bless you to honor the goodness of your cadence.

I bless you to move with ease through this world.

I bless you to forgive the “pushers.” 

I bless you to rest in the goodness of what your pace brings 

(even if needing to practice patience is a frustration to others). 

I bless you to embrace love for all the ways you bring the blessed subtly of “slow.”
