To the Universe… the one I’ve looked up to, and sometimes looked away from,

Today, I ask for nothing.

I do not wish for storms to end,
nor for light to be shown.
I am not here to bargain.
I am here to bow.

I offer this ordination—not as a symbol of escape,
but as a quiet gift back to you.

I ordain for every ache I once didn’t understand.
I ordain for every unanswered question,
for every heartbreak, every surrender,
for every silent prayer whispered into your vastness.

If my small act of letting go
can ripple even gently across your edges—
then let this moment carry light
to wherever darkness still lingers.

May this ordination
be a thank-you with no words,
a hug with no arms,
and a soft surrender to all that you are.

Thank you…
for holding me on nights I didn’t know I needed holding.
For guiding me, even through silence.
For allowing me to fall, wander, search—
until I chose to kneel, not in fear… but in love.

This is for you.
For all of you.
For the stars, the dust, the winds between lifetimes.

With reverence,
A soul who no longer needs to ask
—only to bow.
