May you,
In the name of silence,
Womb of the world;
In the name of stillness,
Home of belonging;
In the name of the solitude
of the soul and the earth,
May you,
(Your name)
Be
Blessed by all beings
Wings of breath,
Be
Delight of eyes,
Be
Wonder of whisper;
Be
Intimacy of touch,
Be
Eternity of soul
In the cosmic
Embrace.
And, may you,
(Your Name)
Each moment,
Be
Compassionate of heart
Gentle in word
Precious in awareness
Courageous in thought
Generous in love.
Jose’s Blessing
Namaste and greetings from this small corner of the web. I am forced to take things easier than usual, as seasonal changes are playing havoc with my biological components. Otherwise I should not let a day pass without the reporting of some inspiring event.
The words above were written for me by my friend, Jose,* whose work was featured on this site many months ago. The painting is based upon a recurring dream/vision which I have had since childhood; with the addition of an angel named “Iona”.
I thought I would name the post after one of my favourite paintings, (which I haven’t seen for decades,) by Joseph Parker. I can’t find a decent copy of it on the web, so if anyone knows where I might find one, please send me a link.
With my thanks, and admiration for the work of my fellow bloggers, I will leave you for now, as I settle to watch pink clouds gathering, and whispering goodbye to an otherwise cold and bleak day, here in old Blighty.
Peace from Amras.
*We Have It All
