A Blessing of the Ordinary by Jan Richardson:

Let these words
lay themselves
like a blessing
upon your head,
your shoulders
as if,
like hands,
they could pass on
to you
what you most need
for this day
as if they could
anoint you
not merely for
the path ahead
but for this
ordinary moment
that opens itself
to you—
opens itself
like another hand
that unfurls itself,
that reaches out
to gather up
these words
in the bowl
of its palm.
You may think
this blessing
lives within
these words
but I tell you
it lives
in the opening
and in the reaching;
it lives
in the ache
where this blessing
begins;
it lives
in the hollow
made by the place
where the hands
of this blessing
meet.
