a new year's blessing

[gnutmeg]

As the New Year is born, we are all reborn
with new hopes and dreams.
Guide us in the future as in the past.
Give us strength and courage,
knowledge and fulfillment,
assist us as we attempt to achieve our goals.

Every beginning has an ending,
and every ending is a new beginning.
In life is death, and in death is life.
Watch over us, our loved ones,
and all of our brothers and sisters, here and departed.
Bless us all as we light our bonfires, our hearth fires,
and the eternal fires in our hearts.
Guide us and protect us,
today and throughout the coming year.
Blessed be.

It's a small segment of a wiccan rite (one of many) for the new year. It was by an anonymous author that I found on one of my wiccan sites I have bookmarked. I just edited it a bit to be suitable for LJ.

In life is death, and in death is life.

Nice line. Makes so much sense. Happy New Year!!!
