December Mantra for Choir Directors

It’s that season again…when all the choir directors I know barely have time to sleep. Here’s a little prayer/mantra to use on the way through.

May I carry appreciation for the love people have for singers in December.
May I gently guide my singers to the music they seek to make.
May I live in the present, not carrying the weight of the coming month all at once.
May I nourish myself for the long days ahead.
May I find the small moments of quiet.
