Blessings

An Old Celtic Blessing

May the blessing of light be on you—

light without and light within.

May the blessed sunlight shine on you

and warm your heart

till it glows like a great peat fire.

I like blessings!

I like receiving them

Mostly I like offering them

Like precious gifts

Offered out like precious jewels

I can bless, not because I have anything to offer

But because offering a blessing is nothing more or less

Than reminding people

That the door to the warm, loving presence of the Sacred

Is always unlocked

And contrary to popular demand, we need not always walk

Sometimes it’s OK to just walk in

For a warm greeting

Always awaits
