the deers cry


this is an irish prayer i often say, credited to st. patrick:

the deers cry

i arise today
through the strength of heaven
light of sun
radiance of moon
splendor of fire
speed of lightning
swiftness of wind
depth of sea
stability of earth
firmness of rock


and another one i love:

i found this in the book shamanism as a spiritual practice for daily life by tom cowan

A simple wish for someone:

power of raven be yours
power of eagle be yours
power of fiann (a band of irish heroes)

power of storm be yours
power of moon be yours
power of sun

goodness of sea be yours
goodness of earth be yours
goodness of heaven

until next time...xx

when we don't understand



november 5, 2010

i needed this prayer this week, because people have acted in ways that they had to know would hurt. maybe it's karma? maybe it was an oversight, a misunderstanding , thoughtless, the "oh well" scenario. the first line is what made me remember this prayer.. and the last one is what finally today, after almost a full week of mulling, has helped me to get to a better place.

and of course, the prayer was on my mind to find this week and about mid week i got a letter from a friend in the mail...notice the stamp!!! ok ok i get it!


P
eople are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

until next time...xx
