Embrace
By Jim Clapp 

Embrace the winds
from their four directions
Embrace the sun
the father in the daytime skies
Embrace the moon
the mother in the darkest nights
Embrace the brilliant stars
reminding us of our connections with the light...

Embrace our mistakes
and turn them to wisdom and knowledge
Embrace our insights
and learn from intuition and intellect
Embrace ourselves
and express the love that’s sometimes hidden inside
Embrace our families
and share the love of who we are in the light
Embrace our communities
and be creative and
cooperative with each other
Embrace our world
and open up and accept our
differences—
for we are the children—the creators of our future...
