This is something that a close & dear friend shared with me today that touched my heart. I wanted to share it with a couple of my fellow Pagans, Druids, & Christian friends alike, but also with a select few other friends that I knew would appreciate its message. :) I hope you like it, and that it brings meaning & joy to you. :)
Blessed Yule/Alban Arthan, Happy Winter Solstice, & Merry Christmas. :)
" A Midwinter Prayer"
-from The Celtic Wheel of the Year by Tess Ward
From the rising of the midwinter sun to its setting,
Scatter the darkness with the light of your love, O Shining One.
Make me short on mean thoughts, long on offering words of comfort.
Make me short on being driven, long on paying attention.
Make me short on focusing only on my own, long on looking beyond.
Make me short on obsessive lists, long on spontaneous acts of kindness,
Make me short on mindless activity, long on time to reflect.
Make me short on tradition as a habit, long on rediscovery and re-owning.
Make me short on rushing a tiring, long on walking and wondering.
Make me short on false, festive jollity, long on stilling and rooted joy.
Make me short on guilt, long on being merciful to myself.
Make me short on being overwhelmed, long on peaceableness as I set forth this day.
