May the blessing of light . . .

 

May the blessing of light be on you,
light without and light within.
May the blessed sunshine shine on you
and warm your heart

 

Heaven's view

pilgrims - Wang

till it glows like a great peat fire,
so that the stranger may come
and be warmed at it,
and also a friend.

 

 

And may the light shine out
of the two eyes of you,
like a candle set
in the two windows of a house,
bidding the wanderer
come in out of the storm;

and may the blessings of the rain be on you
-- the soft, sweet rain.

 

 

Rain

 

May it fall upon your spirit
so that all the little flowers
may spring up
and shed their sweetness
on the air.

Storm

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 of heaven shines,
and sometimes a star.

Forest path in Hawaii

And may the blessing 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 rest upon it,
tired at the end of a day,

 

grassy  ridge

and may it rest easy over you when at the last,
you lay out under it;
may it rest so lightly over you
that your soul may be off from under it quickly
and up and off, and on its way to God.

And now may God bless you all and bless you kindly.
Amen.

(Traditional Irish Blessing)
