may you feel happiness

\nwhen your heart bursts open
\nrevealing it was always full<\/p>\n

may you feel safe
\nin the house you built of
\npinewood and gratitude<\/p>\n

may you feel safe
\nfalling apart and

may you feel safe
\nbreathing in crisp winter air
\nbreathing out warmth
\nand there\u2019s nothing else
\nnothing at all<\/p>\n

may you feel love tenderly
\nlike a wounded, wild animal<\/p>\n

may you feel love
\nthat recognizes the importance
\nof boundaries yet its vastness
\nknows no boundaries<\/p>\n

may you feel love
\nthat\u2019s pure and replenishing
\nlike a spring creek<\/p>\n

may all troubled beings
\nfind comfort and strength
\nin each other
\nin love that\u2019s inseparable<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
