We have emerged from a two week bout of cold followed by Roseola (a childhood virus of 3 days of high fever followed by several days of a red rash). Ky is doing much better, back to his happy self and my body has finally began to let some knots out. By Friday last week I felt like a top about to spin out of control. Thank goodness for my Mother-in-law, a bath, a date afternoon with my hubby and fantastic weather. On this eve of Equinox I offer you a blessing from Caitlin Matthews' book Celtic Devotional: Daily Prayers & Blessings.
Blessing of the Elements
(to be said on using any of the elements in daily life)
Blessed be the precious and preserving air,
the breath of life, our inspiration and delight.
Blessed be the precious and preserving fire,
the blood of life, our warming guest.
Blessed be the precious and preserving water,
the water of life, our cleansing guest.
Blessed be the precious and preserving earth,
the flesh of life, our sustainer and our wisdom.
