Oh Great and Kindly Watcher of Small Things,
who notices the quiet kindnesses,
the whispered wishes,
and the hearts that hope in gentle ways,
I thank thee for this day—
for the rustle of leaves,
the soft pawsteps,
and the kindness of those who think of little creatures like me.
I give thanks for the shelter of my dear old burrow,
for the roof of woven roots that holds back the rain,
for the patchwork quilt that keeps out the chill,
and for the books that never run out of words,
even when my eyes grow sleepy and my whiskers droop.
Bless those who wished me slippers,
those who hoped my toes might never know the cold,
who saw a little mouse and thought:
"She should have warm feet."
May they always have warmth in return—
not only for their toes but for their hearts,
wrapped up in kindness like the cosiest of quilts.
Bless those who have sent me well-wishes,
who have thought of me even in passing,
who have whispered "I hope she is happy"
without knowing I heard them in my heart.
Bless the ones who hold so much magic inside them
that they sprinkle it like breadcrumbs for others to find.
The ones who carry stories in their souls
and light in their hands.
Bless you, dear friend, who is reading this now.
Yes, you.
For you have brought warmth to my world
by simply being in it.
And lastly, if I may ask just one more thing—
not for cheese or crumbs or an extra tuft of stuffing—
but that all small creatures, feathered or furred,
clawed or pawed, slippered or bare,
may find warmth, kindness, and a place to belong.
And if there is a spare blessing left,
please let it fall upon you, my dear one—
who reads these words with a heart so full,
who has loved a little mouse enough
to wish her slippers.
Amen, and goodnight.
Until next time, dear hearts.
