For the deep dark of the year,
the shortest days and longest nights,
I send you a wish.
May the Turn-around Bird rest on your shoulder.
The Turn-Around Bird
May your sadness turn around into hope.
May your sadness turn around into light.
May your sadness turn around and fly away.
May your craving turn around into gratitude.
May your craving turn around into generosity.
May your craving turn around and fly away.
May your restlessness turn around into calm.
May your restlessness turn around into patience.
May your restlessness turn around and fly away.
May your loneliness turn around into peace.
May your loneliness turn around into comfort.
May your loneliness turn around and fly away.
May your doubt turn around into confidence.
May your doubt turn around into acceptance.
May your doubt turn around and fly away.
May your pain turn around into solace.
May your pain turn around into relief.
May your pain turn around and fly away.
May your fear turn around into courage.
May your fear turn around into resolution.
May your fear turn around and fly away.
May your anger turn around into forgiveness.
May your anger turn around into positive action.
May your anger turn around and fly away.
May the Turn-Around Bird rest on your shoulder.
May the Turn-Around Bird cover you in the bright feathers of
forgiveness, positive action, resolution,
courage, relief, solace,
acceptance, confidence,comfort,
peace, patience,
calm, generosity,
gratitude,
light,
and hope.
May you be safe, well, and happy.
(and don't forget to write).
