More Traditional Blessings and Prayers. I know there may be one or two repeats and I apologise for that, but this file is long and it's difficult to keep track. I trust that any repeats are ones someone particularly needs to read that day:Morning BlessingEncircle my soulIn morning stillnessScatter the shadows of fearBe at my side in midday bustleWeave through the knot work of timeTalk to my heartIn teatime chatterSpeak through the discords of lifeLighten the loadof incoming darknessGlow...

The love you have given me has reached into my heart and taken my soul captive. I have known no other love like yours outside of God...
