We ask for your blessing

 

May the natural world look kindly on us as we break this ground for an aging community to live safely and affordably

I pray Living Wisdom Village will be blessed and supported in every way
I pray the trees on this land will not hold our removing them against us
I pray the sand under our feet is happy to be displaced 

I pray the animals that roam this soil will integrate these little houses into their trails

May the big mountains give their blessing, as they CAN give their blessing

May the Sun and the Moon and all other moving parts in the universe smile down on us
May the winds be gentle with us

May the people who have walked, hunted and gathered on this land give their blessing
The Ute, the Navajo, the Tiwa and the Tewa, the Kiowa, the Arapaho and the Jicarilla and those whose names we do not know 

May their ancestors be at peace here
May the Gods of this land, all those above and below, South, West, North and East bless LWV
May all Spirits be pleased with this project

May this place be protected from natural catastrophes, fire, floods and the wind

 

May our neighbors be patient during the time of noise and disturbance and then enjoy this community
 

May everyone be safe during construction
May the people working here understand the value of their efforts and know they are appreciated

 

May everything go so smoothly
May any hurdles we might run into be resolved easily and fast
May the people waiting to live here have a good experience and enjoy each other, care for each other and stay ‘At Home’ as long as is good for them

May they desire to live in peace together and form a community
May they see this place and this land as an opportunity to thrive
May this be a safe and affordable space throughout its existence
May this project benefit the greater good and the larger community

May we all feel gratitude and a full heart as we have been so supported to come to this point
