A prayer and blessing for my daughter, as she departs for a year in Africa.

you thought you had all you needed
all you've learned and known
now it's time to set it aside
to open your heart and soul
to a brand new home

remember loving kindness
never fails
compassion and care
your daily companions
courage and modesty
in demand
quiet and calm
blessings when in doubt
foster curiosity and respect
savor your moments
steep yourself in a world unknown

home will be waiting
with room 
for the woman 
i know you will be

A wonderful sendoff. I'm sure she will come back with a lifetime of memories whatever venture is. A year is a significant investment in her young life filled with action.
