Greeting the Dawn

“O holy beings, I greet you this day with love, reverence, wonder, gratitude, respect and awe. Thank you for the blessings and protections of life, and for the challenges I face which teach me to grow and learn…. Now the web that connects you to all beings is my web of connection. Now your blood is my blood, your origins my origins, your spirit my spirit, your purposes my purposes.” from a Blackfoot greeting of the dawn (aatsimoyihkaan) by Darin Stevenson

How might you start each day with gratitude for all of the beings around you? How might you connect your spirit to the interdependent web of existence?
