Love Prayer

To my daughter.

Up into the universe,

I cast a net of stars to light your way in the wilderness.

Look up at the night sky, my love, and follow the ancient map,

your internal compass, your heart.

Each step a drum beat, walking you

home.

    I love your net of stars…and all of it, actually. Did you happen to notice all the stars imagery in the Evensong hymn? See you soon! (That’s special.) xxxooo Mom
