A Blessing

Anonymous

May you always be blessed with walls for the wind. A roof for the rain, a warm cup of tea by the fire. Laughter to cheer you. Those you love near you. And all that your heart might desire.

Happy Tracks

Cherokee Blessing

May the warm winds of Heaven
Blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your Mocassins
Make happy tracks in many snows,
and may the Rainbow
Always touch your shoulder.

Bless Those Who Challenge Us

Native American Prayer

Bless those who challenge us to grow, to stretch, to move beyond the knowable, to come back home to our essential nature. Bless those who challenge us for they remind us of doors we have closed and doors we have yet to open.

Irish Blessing

May the blessings of light be on you--light without and light within
May the blessed sunshine shine on you and warm your heart until it glows like a great peat fire--so that the stranger may come and warm himself, and also a friend
And may the light shine out of the two eyes of you, like a candle set in two windows of a house, bidding the wanderer to come in out of the storm

May the blessings of the rain be on you--the soft, sweet rain
May it fall upon your spirit, so that all the flowers may spring up, and shed their sweetness on the air
And may the blessings of the Great Rains be on you: May they beat upon your spirit and wash it fair and clean and leave there many a shining pool where the blue heavens shines reflected--and sometimes a star

And may the blessings of the Earth be on you--the Great Round Earth
May you ever have a kindly greeting for those you pass as you're going along the roads
May the earth be soft under you when you lie out upon it, tired at the end of the day
And may it rest easily over you, when at last you be out under it. May it rest so lightly over you that your soul may be quickly through it, and up, and off, and on its way to God.
