“May Heaven guard and keep you
In great security,
Make you staunch and hale,
What blessing not vouchsafed?
Give you much in increase,
Send nothing but abundance.
May Heaven guard and keep you,
Cause your grain to prosper,
Send you nothing that is not good.
May you receive from Heaven a hundred boons,
May Heaven send down to you blessings so many
That the day is not long enough for them all.”
— from “The Book of Songs,” Blessings on Gentle Folk

“My child, we are not born to hold a gun, we are born to love. Love is the only weapon we carry.” — Thich Nhat Hanh, from “Creating True Peace: Ending Violence in Yourself, Your Family, Your Community, and the World”

Heteros only — lesbians, sister power, get a pass.
