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.

Peace & Thank you fellow traveler... I would follow your blog if I could, alas, there is no way to interact with you. I think you have a message, and your support of the glbt community, online and off could be great; your use of cross cultural rituals is refreshing; your spiritual voice & sensibility as well. My good friend, Pastor Susan Schneider, now in Madison Wisconsin, and you should connect! (I am in Florida...) Have you read "The Four Agreements", by Dr. Ruiz? It, like "The Power of Myth" by Joseph Campbell, strengthened my understanding of what a precious gift we have, and what it means, truly... to be a Christian. Stay strong and robust: you are a Shaman, a Celtic priest... and you cannot ever hate. it festers, and becomes hard, like a stone, and humans cannot make pearls but of their minds. Patience, brother! You cannot hate... Remember... Love and Forgive are all He really asked us to do... and that includes ourselves! have a wonderful Spring, Season of Rebirth, and Resurrection... Thank you. namaste'. Peace. ~rnd @thestorysmith
