A blessing for compost and things that need to be composted.
“We offer gratitude to the great cycles of birth, growth, death, decay, and regeneration.
We are grateful to all the beings who have made the great transformation, leaving the remains of their bodies here.
We are grateful to all the hungry mouths that consume the dead.
Blessings on the termite, the beetle, the ant, the spider, the worm.
Blessings on the fungi and the bacteria, those that need the air and those that avoid it.
Blessings on all the life in this pile that will transform decay to fertility, death to life.
May I always remember that the cycle of life is a miracle.
May I continue to feel a sense of wonder and joy in the presence of death and life.
May I remember that waste is food, and may my eyes be open to opportunities to close the circle and create abundance and life.”
