Blessings

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
The rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
     

I have always liked this old Irish blessing for its simplicity, even though I am not religious or Irish.  I love the image of a higher being holding us in his/her palm.  In a topsy turvy world, full of divisiveness and hate, it is well to remember that, to paraphrase Anne Frank, most people are basically good at heart.
