“From the moment
it first laid eyes
on you,
this blessing loved you.This blessing
knew you
from the start.It cannot explain how.
It just knows
that the first time
it sat down beside you,
it entered into a conversation
that had already been going on
forever.Believe this conversation
has not stopped.Believe this love
still lives—
the love that crossed
an impossible distance
to reach you,
to find you,
to take your face
into its hands
and bless you.Believe this
does not end—
that the gesture,
once enacted,
endures.Believe this love
goes on—
that it still
takes your face
into its hands,
that it presses
its forehead to yours
as it speaks to you
in undying words,
that it has never ceased
to gather your heart
into its heart.Believe this blessing
abides.
Believe it goes with you
always.
Believe it knows you
still.”~Jan Richardson
