Inspiration: Blessings........
May everyone be happy and safe,
and may their hearts be filled with joy.
May all living beings live in security
and in peace beings who are frail or strong,
tall or short, big or small,
visible or not visible, near or far away,
already born or yet to be born.
May all of them dwell in perfect tranquility.
Let no one do harm to anyone.
--A Blessing for All Beings
Dear God, be good to me!
The sea is so wide,
And my boat is so small.
--Fisherman's prayer
May the Blessings of God rest upon you,
May God's Peace abide with you,
May God's Presence illuminate your heart
Now and forevermore.
--A Sufi Blessing
Everywhere God will come to meet you,
Everywhere God will appear to you,
At places and times at which you will look not for it,
In your waking hours and in your sleep,
When you are journeying by water, land or air,
In the night-time and in the day-time,
When you are speaking and when you are silent;
For there is nothing which is not God.
-- Hermes Trismegistus,
Just as the soft rains fill the streams,
pour into the rivers and join together in the oceans,
so may the power of every moment of your goodness
flow forth to awaken and heal all beings,
Those here now, those gone before, those yet to come.
By the power of every moment of your goodness
May your heart's wishes be soon fulfilled
As completely shining as the bright full moon,
As magically as by a wish-fulfilling gem.
By the power of every moment of your goodness
May all dangers be averted and all disease be gone.
May no obstacle come across your way.
May you enjoy fulfillment and long life.
May your life prosper in beauty, happiness and strength.
--Traditional Buddhist Healing Blessing
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.
--Gaelic Rune
Today...
I wish you a day of ordinary miracles.
I wish you a day of little things to rejoice in.
I wish you a day of happiness and perfection...
little bite-size pieces of perfection
that give you the funny feeling
that God is smiling on you,
holding you so gently
because you are someone special and rare.
I wish you a day of Peace, Happiness and Joy.
--Chris Clu
Deep peace I breathe into you
Deep peace, a quiet rain to you;
Deep peace, an ebbing wave to you!
Deep peace, red wind of the east from you;
Deep peace, gray wind of the west to you;
Deep peace, dark wind of the north from you;
Deep peace, blue wind of the south to you!
Deep peace, pure red of the flame to you;
Deep peace, pure white of the moon to you;
Deep peace, pure green of the grass to you;
Deep peace, pure brown of the living earth to you;
Deep peace, pure gray of the dew to you;
Deep peace, pure blue of the sky to you!
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 sleeping stones to you,
Deep peace of the stars to you.
Deep Peace of the God of Peace to You.
Deep peace, deep peace.
-- Old Irish Blessing of Peace
May the blessing of light be on you—
light without and light within.
May the blessed sunlight shine on you
and warm your heart
‘til it glows like a great peat fire.
-- An Irish Prayer
May the rains sweep gentle across your fields,
May the sun warm the land,
May every good seed you have planted bear fruit
And late summer find you standing in fields of plenty.
-- Gardener’s Bles sing
Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the wind,
whose breath gives life to the world, hear me;
I need your strength and wisdom.
May I walk in Beauty.
As I Walk with Beauty
As I walk, as I walk
The universe is walking with me
In beauty it walks before me
In beauty it walks behind me
In beauty it walks below me
In beauty it walks above me
Beauty is on every side
As I walk, I walk with Beauty.
--Traditional Navajo Prayer
Great Spirit –
Fill us with Light.
Give us the strength to understand
And the eyes to see.
Teach us to walk the soft Earth
As relatives to all that live.
-- Sioux Prayer
Life is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of the buffalo in the winter.
It is the little shadow that runs across the grass
and loses itself in the sunset.
--Crowfoot (Blackfoot)
May you live a long life
Full of gladness and health,
With a pocket full of gold
As the least of your wealth.
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light
May good luck pursue you each morning and night
--A Polish blessing
