Morning blessing

"I arise today.

In the name of Silence

Womb of the Word,

In the name of Stillness,

Home of Belonging,

In the name of the Solitude

of the Soul and the Earth

I arise today.

Blessed by all things,

Wings of breatth,

Delight of eyes,

Wonder of whisper,

Intimacy of touch,

Eternity of Soul,

Urgency of thought,

Miracle of health

Embrace of God."

John O'Donohe, Eternal Echoes. Celtic Reflections on Our Yearning to Belong
