Courageous in action,

Conquer my fear and doubt,
Discover my own hidden gifts,

May the wind blow sweetness,
the rivers flow sweetness,
the herbs grow sweetness,

May the tree afford us sweetness,
the sun shine sweetness,
our cows yield sweetness —

December 17 – A Blessing of Kindness

BeBased on “Monarch on Mums” by Dinny at stock.XCHANG.

Be generous in prosperity,
and thankful in adversity.

Be fair in thy judgment,
and guarded in thy speech.

Be a lamp unto those who walk in darkness,
and a home to the stranger.

Be eyes to the blind,
and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring.

Be a breath of life to the body of humankind,
a dew to the soil of the human heart,
and a fruit upon the tree of humility.

(Bahá’u’lláh)

December 15 – A Jewish/Christian Blessing

Bless pleaseBased on “Homeless Portraiture” by leroys at stock.XCHANG.

HaShem (the Lord) is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul; He guideth me in straight paths for His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of HaShem (the Lord) for ever.

(Psalm 23: 1-6)

“Blessing” by One Ring Zero

The lyrics are by Denis Johnson:

Christ by the dumpster
peeling and tossing your lottery tickets –
oh Nazarine drinking dust,
oh Christ rising and falling,
oh Jesus Christ giving us the finger
in “Christ au tombeau”,

bless please the people in art galleries
lonely as a distant train. Bless now
the cancer of the bone, the last light making
beautiful the poisons in the sky –

and the condemned man in his tuxedo dream,
his dreams of limousines and innocence,
take off your clothes and come to him in dreams,
stand on the fire escape naked and bless
with jazz like a rivulet of codeine
the laughter spilling from our broken necklaces.

December 14 – A Native American Blessing

Hold OnBased on “Hands” by Niecey at stock.XCHANG.

Hold on to what is good,
Even if it’s a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe,
Even if it’s a tree that stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do,
Even if it’s a long way from here.
Hold on to your life,
Even if it’s easier to let go.
Hold on to my hand,
Even if someday I’ll be gone away from you.

(A Pueblo Indian Prayer)
