My Everyday Beatitudes
Nikki Hardin
Bless the lipstick I wear under my mask as an invisible red badge of courage and hope.
Bless the little heater in the ceiling of my bathroom on cold winter mornings. I turn it on and then race back to bed till it warms up.
Bless my legs for still getting me in Tree Pose even though I wobble and sometimes topple.
Bless the crescent moon hanging in the night sky over my backyard like one perfect gold earring.
