So Let’s Begin…
IN APPRECIATION OF US MEDITATION SCRIPT
There are many ways that love is shown,
Not always in the ways we’ve known.
A glance, a nod, a broken word—
Even silence can be heard.
PAUSE
Some share a table, stories, and light,
Some sit alone in the quiet night.
Some hearts are warmed by laughter and song,
While others feel they don’t belong.
PAUSE
No matter how the hours are spent,
Whether joyous or turbulent,
Whether tears fall or hearts are full,
This moment now is always whole.
PAUSE
So come, sweet soul, and breathe with me,
Lay down your thoughts so you can see
That love is never black and white—
It dances soft, it hides from sight.
PAUSE
It shows up in the smallest ways,
In awkward talks or sideways praise.
In a friend who stays, a call you get,
In the kindness of a stranger met.
PAUSE
And even if the day felt tough,
Or if your heart cried, “Not enough,”
You’re here, dear one, and that alone
Deserves a bow, a sacred tone.
PAUSE
So lets pause for what is true,
For all the ways that love moved through—
Through food prepared or stories shared,
Through aching hearts that deeply care.
PAUSE
We bless the broken, bless the whole,
We honor every living soul.
For in the mess, the joy, the pain,
We’re bound by something far from plain.
PAUSE
We’re bound by breath,
By being here,
By showing up despite our fear.
By trying, failing, loving still—
By bending life to match our will.
PAUSE
So take this moment, soft and slow,
To thank the ones who helped you grow.
To honor those who couldn’t stay,
To bless the ones who walked your way.
PAUSE
To feel the thread that runs through all,
The rise, the joy, the hurt, the fall—
Each moment stitched inside your chest,
Is life itself in all its mess.
PAUSE
Breathe in the love that doesn’t leave,
Breathe out the need to make-believe
That it should look a certain way—
It’s sacred still, come what may.
LONG PAUSE
In appreciation, let’s just be
Grateful for humanity.
For trying, for healing, for coming undone,
For being many and being one.
PAUSE
No matter how your day went through,
There’s something sacred holding you.
A quiet love beneath the fuss—
Today we honor all of us.
PAUSE
Namaste, Beautiful.
