i’m getting an early start on celebrating St Paddy’s because today is a celebration of so many magical happenings with a very special baby being born (genekeys.com), today vibrates at the master number of twenty-two, the number for grace, the sun is shining today in the rain-soaked Pacific Northwest and tomorrow when we will be celebrating the wild, poetically enchanting, magical Ireland, who better to hear an echo from her than her late great native son, John O’Donahue…

 

A Celebration Blessing

Now is the time
to free the heart,
Let all intentions and worries stop,
Free the joy inside the self,
Awaken to the wonder
of your life.

Open your eyes and see the friends
Whose hearts recognize your face as kin,
Those whose kindness watchful and near,
Encourages you to live everything here.

See the gifts the years have given,
Things your effort could never earn,
The health to enjoy who you want to be
And the mind to mirror mystery.
