Here I am again 
ready to let go of my mistakes. 
  Help me to release myself 
from all the ways I've missed the mark. 
  Help me to stop carrying 
the karmic baggage of my poor choices. 
  As I cast this bread upon the waters 
Lift my troubles off my shoulders. 
  Help me to know that last year is over, 
washed away like crumbs in the current. 
  Open my heart to blessing and gratitude 
Renew my soul as the dew renews the grasses. 
  And we say together: 
Amen.
