Al Ringing the Bell (a handcrafted gift from a dear friend) to Create Sacred Space
Prayers and Monuments
I recently had the honor of performing a land blessing ceremony for some very dear friends of mine. We gathered at their land and spoke of the many blessings they create in their life; a long and happy marriage, family with children and grandchildren, as well as extended family and friends; we spoke of how they honor one another and their sacred land; the land that provides a home and a living for them. This land is their legacy passed from generations and it will continue on to be the legacy they offer.
Blessings are recognition and acknowledgement. They are the gentle caress and a sealed kiss~ an affirmative statement that something is cherished and treasured. Cultivating and on-going praises of places; people; things; time; space. This is how we bless what we have. In doing so we call forth greater gifts because it opens our heart to receiving.
Gladness enters a person when they bless and when they are blessed. I was blessed while blessing and I am grateful for my friendship with my cherished friends, Cathie and Al.
May we all open our eyes as well as our hearts to count our blessings each and every day.
I had a very special evening filled with love, laughter, memories, delicious foods, and precious friends.
