Blessed be the Seeds
The new beginnings
Holding the potential for new life
Blessed be the darkness
The fertile ground
The firm foundation for new life to arise
I hold this seed with loving care
My feet standing grateful on the ground
I plant this seed in the fertile soil
With a prayer and sacred sound knowing that
Good things take time
You can't rush the flower to bloom
Good things take time
So get to know the darkness within you
Oh... Oh... Oh
Oh... Oh... Oh
Blessed be the darkness
The womb of creation
The place of no knowing and no form
Watered with tears of suffering and compassion
The seed cracks and new life is born
Roots emerge and take hold in the darkness of the sacred ground
A new dream of life is anchored down
To drink in the waters and the nourishment of all that's died
Oh the cycle of life keeps turning round
I take my time to feel the earth under my feet
I take my time to get to know the darkness within me
I take the time to feel the sunshine on my face
This is the time to get to know my wholeness in
Life's sweet embrace
In Life's sweet embrace
Oh... Oh... Oh
Oh... Oh... Oh
Blessed be this new growth rising up out of darkness towards the light
Blessed be this miracle of life (Blessed be this miracle of life)
Blessed be the seeds, the roots, the shoots and the leaves
Blessed be these sacred medicines (Blessed be these sacred medicines)
Blessed be the blossoming, blooming of the precious flowers
Enchanting us all with their fragrance and powers
(Their fragrance and powers)
And blessed be the fruit
Taking its sweet time to ripen for me and you
An embodiment of the truth
The truth
I'm learning that Good things take time
I can't rush the flower to bloom
The wisdom of life is growing in me and its growing in you
So I take my time, present to these moments of my life
I pray to let go of all the struggle to control
This natural urge to grow
To grow
