God took the sparkling of a single star
to let it glow inside of you like a light,
to let you, beloved human child, shine in its whole beauty.

Feel the wind,
which breezes from the east
feel it on your skin
and how it gentle caresses (through) your hair,
how it sweeps away all the unnecessary.

Feel the warm earth under you feet,
which gives you grounding and stability,
touch it with you hands,
breath in the scent, warm and grounded.

See the blossoming fields
the golden dry grass shinning in the sun
they sway in the gentle wind like a dance.

Greeting the change of the seasons,
bow your head in awe with the changing of the times..
You are like a little seed
secure in the lap of the warm earth
like a new born, which still has to be nourished and protected,
carefully brought forth by mother earth.
Then like a growing child
playful rocking and turning itself to all sides, budding its tenderly sprouts,
then like an adult, unfolding itself into full strength
with dignity it carries its leaving and blossoms,
older at the end of the cycle
slowing fading away,
to become dust again
and returning to the lap of (mother)earth,
but just before returning, some seeds are carried away into the wind to create new life in the cycles of time to come,

On your birth God has let the crystals from the stars rain down on you,
which let your inner most illuminate
and awoken your soul to life,
his angels standing by your side to protect and watch over you.

he called the winds
to rock and console you when sorrows pulled you down,
the stars,
lighted the way in the darkness
the earth,
to carry you in its lap when you need to rest.

So then follow the rhythm of your own tides
let the changes of your inner seasons
happen in a peaceful and dignified way,
let your actions here be fruitful,
be a star, a light for others who need it,
don’t worry so much about yourself
give love and peace where restlessness and haste reside.

Lord, give the strength
to allow my seed that you have planted in this fruitful earth
to grow and prosper,
let me grow into fullness
and let me radiate in my full beauty,
so as the stars over me,
let my full strength unfold
like the abundant golden grass on the fields
let me accomplish all that is necessary
to understand you messages
and to follow your ways.
