Beauty Blessing


May we pause this Saturday and prepare for the Sabbath by pondering Beauty in its infinite and eternal forms. And then, may we know ourselves differently...
A Beauty Blessing

                        As stillness in stone to silence is wed
                        May your heart be somewhere a God might dwell.

                        As a river flows in ideal sequence
                        May your soul discover time in presence.

                        As the moon absolves the dark of resistance
                        May thought-light console your mind with brightness.
           
                        As the breath of light awakens colour
                        May the dawn anoint your eyes with wonder.

                        As spring rain softens the earth with surprise
                        May your winter places be kissed by light.

                        As the ocean dreams to the joy of dance
                        May the grace of change bring you elegance.

                        As clay anchors a tree in light and wind
                        May your outer life grow from peace within.

                        As twilight fills night with bright horizons
                        May beauty await you at home beyond.
                                    -- John O'Donohue, Beauty: The Invisible Embrace
