Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the infinite peace to you.
---A Gaelic Blessing
My
spiritual director sent this to me months ago. It stays on my (virtual)
desktop amidst my call papers, my essays for class, my to-do lists,
recipes, and poetry.
I reread it and breathe deeply, if only for a moment or two. Something
about it grounds me. Anchors me back into my spiritual connection with
creation and the Creator.
Things have been a bit crazy lately in my life. Finding out about first call and anticipating a large change in my community all over again come May and whenever I move to my new synod (Central Southern Wisconisn!). So here's a blessing of peace for you and me and for everyone of us who need a moment to breathe.
