Greenstone

Well, I haven't written a blog for a long time!

How are you all?

A friend of mine (who is a New Zealander) sent me this beautiful blessing today:

Ma te atua e manaaki ki a koutou me o koutou whanaui, e tiaki,

Kia hora te marino, 

Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana, 

Kia tere te kārohirohi i mua i tō huarahi.

 

May God bless and protect you and your family,

May peace be widespread, 

May the sea glisten like greenstone, 

And may its shimmering light guide you.

Blessings to you all as we continue to go through these difficult times.

Good morning!

We have been exploring the fruits of the spirit and today is goodness.

Maybe see you there!

Hope you are keeping well

Bluebells

Bluebells create a mist of blue and a delicate scent.

Here is a picture I took last year, if you are unable to get out to see this wonder this year.

Good morning!

I'm no longer going to my singing group and I miss it ☹️

We sing this Guatemalan blessing - may it be a blessing to you!


The Peace of the earth be with you,

the peace of the heavens too;

the peace of the rivers be with you,

the peace of the oceans too.

Deep peace falling over you;

Deep peace falling over you.


(with thanks to Christine Carson)

Happy Monday!

Well, the weather is not so good today, but still we can marvel at the beauty around us.

This is a picture from a friend who lives on the Kent coast.

It makes me think of the vastness of the universe. What does it make you think about?

Keep well

Sophie

If music is your thing, you may find this helps in difficult times:

You Are The Peace (words by David Adam/Music by Angela Reith; from her album 'Sometimes The Sun', sung by Ashanti)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb-QL3Tm0To

Here are the words:

You Are The Peace

You are the peace of all things calm

You are the place to hide from harm

You are the light that shines in the dark

You are the heart’s eternal spark

You are the door that’s open wide

You are the guest who waits inside

You are the stranger at the door

You are the calling of the poor

You are my Lord and with me still

You are my love – keep me from ill

You are the light, the truth, the way

You are my saviour this very day

David Adam. 

Even in the midst of uncertainty, the seasons still continue and there is beauty.
