Blessings of Trees

9/21/2011

0 Comments

 
I adore trees but my very favorite is the Queen Beech of Caumsett State Park in Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island.  I swear Caitlin Matthews must have been there when she wrote this blessing in the Celtic style.


I go forth today under the
Cloak of Covering:

triumph of treetops,
Picture
majesty of foliage,
Picture
lightness of leaves,
Picture
strength of trunk,
Picture
suppleness of bark,
Picture
power of branches,
Picture
stability of roots,
Picture
penetration of sap,
Picture
energy of growth.
Picture
May no harm befall me
under the covering of this forest cloak,
this day and this night.

-Caitlin Matthews-
