Beyond the Holidays II

Another of the shared messages I saved from FaceBook over the holidays was this one by John Mark Green. I was delighted to be introduced to this poet through the internet and have especially enjoyed these words of his:

So let the breath of sweet gratitude fill you,

As the light of each new day begins.

For this moment itself is a miracle, and to live it is your privilege my friend.

The breath of sweet gratitude- what a beautiful line. 

The Celts have a way with blessings and gratitude that is beautifully captured in these lines.

I have included gratitude as part of my daily practice since the book Simple Abundance came out years ago.. But the idea of connecting it to breathwork hadn’t occurred to me until I sat with these words.

What a gift. Thank you, John, and thanks to all the poets, authors. artists and those who spread joy not hate, wisdom not ignorance, love not to fear. 

If you have any special quotations you would like to share in the spirit of Celtic Spirit and Celtic Wisdom, whether of Celtic in origin or not, please send them to me. I will include it in a future blog.
