Quote - A new life and their new potential must be celebrated. Congratulations on a new grandchild.
I pray she might live healthy, Love grandly, stand proud, imagine widely, give deeply and see with clear vision. May she grow tall as the trees, run like the winds, become strong as the mountains and become calm as the seas. May love, peace and wisdom be her inheritance, and may she make her family proud. May the great spirit grant her wisdom. As I sing up the sun this morning, may the great mystery grant your new new grand baby these things, not just for her and you, but for the whole of the human race.. May she stand on the earth and still touch the sky with her heart.
So I say on this morning, her first morning of the rest of her life.
Sounds like a Native American blessing, a people for whom I have immense respect. Beautiful :o).
