Welcome East, place of the rising Sun.
The Sun is reborn in a new beginning,
Much as my spirit is reborn, lifetime after lifetime.
Help me to feel the stirrings of hope, the promise of renewal.
Fill my heart with recognition of the wondrous chance of rebirth.
Welcome South, place of the noonday Sun.
The Sun's warmth shines brightly upon my present life,
Life full of activity and play and work.
Help me to awaken to the meaning of my actions.
Fill my heart with the light of passion and purpose for this life.
Welcome West, place of the setting Sun.
The Sun reflects my own ending and passing,
Just as the day ends and passes into night.
Help me to prepare and gather my memories.
Fill my heart with lessons learned for my forward journey.
Welcome North, place of the Moon.
The Moon casts shadows hinting at the unknown,
Age-old secrets making and breaking shadows.
Help me to remember my dreams and connect with the past.
Fill my heart with anticipation of the dawn of another life.
