Thank you, Phyllis... just what's needed on another long night sitting the vigil with my mom in transition. This is one of my favorite Jan Richardson poems... perfect tonight, even a bit ahead of the solstice.
I have read this blessing for a few years. Whenever I hear/see/read it, I can feel myself soften and breathe more deeply. I am glad you shared it so I can be ready for the Solstice...will include it in my celebration. I always love the idea, the receiving, of a blessing. It seems to elevate words into something sacred. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you, dear Phyllis. I will keep this in my mind and heart as I prepare to leave for Ecuador in a couple of weeks. I've just retired and plan to be in Ecuador (where my children are) for 3 months. Deep gratitude to you.

The candle burns for you and your mother. May her passage be eased.
Mahalo nui loa, Phyllis.

I share your perspective on "blessing," Valeria. Bless you, bless you, bless you.

Oh, what a joyous time you're about to have! Go lightly, return full. Have a sweet beginning to your retirement!
I love Jan Richardson, and am not surprised to find her blessing here on THIS bleasing. ❤️😊
