Winter Solstice Blessing

Beannacht, a poem by Irish mystic, John O'Donohue

On my time away in the mountains this morning to appreciate this time of reflection and stillness, I stopped to recite one of my favorite poems by John O’Donohue.

For in the darkness we are often feeling as if we are alone, when we are only a short distance from those who have us in their thoughts and prayers. ‘‘Tis very good to have somebody after mindin’ you, like’, I can recall in John’s West Coast Burren lilt.

Many Winter Solstice Blessings to you all!
