#BlogElul 2018 Day 25 Bless

           Apprehend God in all things

                  for God is in all things.

           Every creature is a word of God.

                       —— Meister  Eckhart

Offer blessings

for the wind that blows

and bends each blade of grass—

for the sand that sings

beneath bare feet—

for flowers and weeds,

for the swamp that seethes

and conceals, for humming birds

and passion red blooms

Bless each named creature 

even those whose names 

are strange and alien

Bless the mountains

you’ll never climb

and the path you walk 

Bless the people you meet—

strangers and family alike

Bless the food on your table

Bless those who sit at your table

and those who eat alone 

Sprinkle blessings 

throughout the day

At night give thanks

for the gift of words

to offer praise and blessing
