MORNING CIRCLE I honor the seven directions
because they have first
honored me
and blessed me richly in
this life.

To the North,
the earth my carpet.

To the East,
the air my breath.

To the South,
the fire my vision.

To the West,
the water my blood.

Above me,
the shining stars.

Below me,
the shadows of promise.

Within and without,
the Ancient Ones witness
and the Ancestors remember.
