“SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER”

Posted on July 9, 2023 by Karen :)

My Reader Friends,

I will be pausing my regular posts for these next weeks, but for all good reasons. The remaining summer days will be filled with family times, travel times, and more in-depth writing times!

Thank you for your companionship here; I am deeply grateful and honored that you take the time to read and reflect. I hope you will find many gifts and joys in our time “apart”.

I wish for you this lovely blessing from John O’Donohue.¹

For Equilibrium, a Blessing:

Like the joy of the sea coming home to shore,
May the relief of laughter rinse through your soul.

As the wind loves to call things to dance,
May your gravity by lightened by grace.

Like the dignity of moonlight restoring the earth,
May your thoughts incline with reverence and respect.

As water takes whatever shape it is in,
So free may you be about who you become.

As silence smiles on the other side of what’s said,
May your sense of irony bring perspective.

As time remains free of all that it frames,
May your mind stay clear of all it names.

May your prayer of listening deepen enough
to hear in the depths the laughter of god.

Take care and know that I hold you in my heart.

¹John O’Donohue, To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings

I will truly miss you too, my friend. Even tho life gets very hectic, I always peek in a couple times a week if I can, to see if you have sent “me” anything that may warm my heart, enlighten me more, draw me closer, give me strength and even make me chuckle when I need it most. You never disappoint & I love you for that. Take some well deserved time for you. Enjoy your fam, more writing and all that God has for you. And by all means…water your plants! Its like hydrating yourself…cant survive without water 🙂
