for Casey
May your spirit find space
to stretch far and wide
under that big, open sky.
May your soul recognize its truth,
its wild and radiant essence,
reflected in the fierce sun.
May you feel your strength,
solid and humble, in the rocks
surrounding and holding you.
May your heart expand with wonder
as each grain of sand reminds you
of your own abundance.
May you notice your own brilliance,
your incredible light,
in the glow of each moon.
May you discover more questions
than answers under the stars, trusting them
to lead you into infinite possibilities.
May your spirit join the wind,
soaring and delighting
in currents of freedom.
May you enjoy peace in the stillness,
and sweet sleep, rich with dreams
of what lies beyond knowing.
May your soul see the depth,
the many layers of its beauty
displayed in every sunset.
May you hear animal voices
aligning you with the purity of instinct,
all that is true and alive within you.
May your heart speak freely,
filling the canyons with wise words
about loving and being loved.
