Blessings!

Father – Mother – God – Universal Power


Deep peace of the shining stars to you,
Which stay invisible till darkness falls
And discloses their pure and shining presence
Beaming down compassion on our turning world.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.

Deep peace of the watching shepherds to you,
Of unpretentious folk, who, watching and waiting
Spend long hours out on the hillside
Expecting in simplicity some Coming of the Lord.
Deep peace of the watching shepherds to you!

Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you,
Who, swift as the wave and pervasive as the air,
Quiet as the earth and shining like a star,
Breathes into us His Peace and His Spirit.
Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you!

Mary Rogers, adapted from the Gaelic



Grandfather, Great Spirit
All over the world the faces of living ones
Are alike.
With tenderness they have come up. Look upon your children that they may
Face the winds and walk the good road to the Day of Quiet.
Grandfather, Great Spirit
Fill us with the light
Give us the strength to understand, and the eyes to see.
Teach us to walk the soft Earth as relatives to all that live.

Sioux Prayer


GoodNight God

I hope that you are having a good time being the world.
I like the world very much.
I’m glad you made the plants
And trees survive.
I like how God feels around everyone in the world.
God, I am very happy that I live on you.
Your arms clasp around the world.

Danu Baxter, Age 4 and a half
