New Year's Blessing - Take 2

I heard this the other day over the P.A. system at the local hospital lab when I went in for a medical appointment. At first I thought it was a little cheesy to have a morning meditation read over the sound system like that, but as I listened and thought about my garden, my maple tree, my challenges, and my loved ones, it did become a lovely, reflective moment for me.

Hold on to what is good
Even if it is a handful of earth
Hold on to what you believe
Even if it is a tree that stands by itself
Hold on to what you must do
Even if it is a long way from here
Hold on to life
Even if it is easier to let go
Hold on to my hand
Even if I have gone away from you
Pueblo blessing
