BY JULIE BRANDON

How am I to bless you?

The strength to kneel in blessing is the strength that lifts you up

As with you, also me, also me

Holiness around us

Surrounds us

Flows through us

From us to God and back again

Searching for the place within where holiness lives

Strengthening, sustaining, giving life meaning

Filling us with the Divine

How am I to bless you?

With all I have been given and hope to receive

No matter how empty we feel

Blessings are a well that never run dry

The question is not how I am to bless you

How can I not when I see the Divine in you
