Some words for a coming-of-age ceremony or as vows before a marriage:
I promise to love my body
and care for it with healthy compassion
to the best of my changing capacity.
I promise to listen to my feelings
and pay attention to what they can teach me.
I will try to be courageous and humble
when I share them.
I promise to seek alignment
with my own true journey,
and notice when I am being pulled off course,
and care about the journeying.
I promise to hold out my arms to the world
even when I am afraid of risk,
and honour whatever finds its way into my embrace.
I promise to keep discovering more about myself,
my limits and my expanse,
so I can know and share authentic goodness.
