Beannacht/Blessing by John O'Donohue

May the nourishment of the earth be yours
may the clarity of light be yours,
may the fluency of the ocean be yours
may the protection of the ancestors be yours.

And so may a slow
wind work these words
of love around you,
an invisible cloak
to mind your life.

—John O'Donohue
