Irish Blessings

The writing session is over and my head aches. Jen is pleased and I should be as well. Instead, I am angry with her.

I will not go into that right now.

We have decided in honor of St. Patrick's Day (even though my time was at the beginning of the new religion that you call Christianity), we will offer an Irish blessing every day from now until then.


May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May [the gods] hold you in the hollow of [their] hand[s].

In modern times, the last line actually reads "May God hold you in the hollow of His hand" but I took the liberty of telling it as I remember it.

Be well.
