Sacred Life Sunday: Solstice Blessing
Our solstice fire from last summer. Photo by madgiddy.
May light dominate your life in these coming days.
May the moments of darkness be far outnumbered by the presence of light.
When you next gather around the table in your homes may you remember light, and love, and the sun.
May these moments of holy time help us all to remember that the world spins, and the tide turns and the nights grow shorter – and regardless of our will or our work, the gift of Light Returning happens over and over and over again.
May the blessing of light be upon you –
Light without and light within.
May the blessed sunlight shine on you like a great fire,
So that stranger and friend may come and warm themselves at it.
And may light shine out of the two eyes of you,
Like a candle set in the window of a house,
Bidding the wanderer to come in out of the storm.

Thank you for the blessing–I needed just that one today as a reminder of all the good things coming and going in my life.
