Summer has indeed given way to Autumn. The nights are long and the trees are becoming bare, conkers have been falling to the ground for almost a month now.
As we approach Samhain and prepare for the remembrance of those whom have gone before us into the Great Mystery.
I felt it right to share this blessing I had created.
Having lost a dear friend earlier on this year, a friend’s partner losing their grandmother; Devi and I losing one of our three cats, I think it rather apt:
A Blessing for the Dead
Life’s Breath is but a whisper in the wind.
Life’s Light is but a spark in the embers.
Life’s Tears are but a drop in the ocean.
Life’s Flesh is but embraced by the Earth.
We are not tiny things in the world, but part of a greater whole.
Never to be forgotten.
