Good morning everyone.
This Sunday morning has dawned in a windy but bright way and from my window I'm enjoying watching some interesting cloud formations scudding across the sky.
Sitting quietly brought personal peace to me and I thought I'd try to share a little of that with you today.
So I've chosen another old Irish blessing which several well-known composers have set to music.
Its theme, being very old and Irish, is Christian, so I've altered it slightly to be inclusive of our many beliefs as a community:
"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."
I'll include a link to a choral version of this if you'd like to hear the whole thing. Please remember to click not on the central button which appears but on the white title at the top left hand of the video, or it may not play.
This is a version set to music by Karl Jenkins, the amazing Welsh instrumentalist and composer.
