In the second year of the Covid lockdown, I started a morning chant practice. It was grounding to begin the day on a meditation cushion, looking out the window, crystals and little mementos on a makeshift altar space, singing whatever my heart needed. This chant came from one such morning. A statement of intention, both descriptive and aspirational. How can I be open today? Open to the needs to others, to the needs of my heart? Open to the wonder and pain around me? Open to it all? Makes me want to start a morning chant practice again…
