Day 161: Kujichagulia

as i begin this day,

may i remember the power held deeply in this body-mind-spirit and stand firmly in it.

may it grow and be nurtured as i think, speak and act in ways that align with my greatest good.

may i draw from my ancestors the wisdoms, energies and will to carry on in spite of, because of, inspired by

challenges, joys and pains.

may i live life well, each day knowing that i have agency to create, shift and evolve myself and my environment in untold ways.
