A Gaelic Blessing


Deep peace of the running wave to you,
Deep peace of the flowing air to you,
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you,
Deep peace of the shining stars to you,
Deep peace of the gentle night to you,

Moon and stars pour their healing light on you,
Deep peace of Christ, the light of the world.
(from a stone inscription at the Bald Head Island, NC chapel)
