An Irish Blessing......
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always 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.
May God be with you and bless you:
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.
May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.
Happy St. Patrick's Day...........As far back as I can remember I have been able to magically find 4 -leaf clovers. If I go hunting for them I don't see them, it only happens when I am just relaxed and walking and happen to look down.........My Grandmother was able to do this and my Mother also had this special gift. I have no understanding of how/why I am able to do this ....it just happens.
As they age, some loose the green color, I save them in clear scotch tape. They must be saved immediately after picking them. When I poured them out to photograph I found some stars mixed in...LOL
I have collected hundreds of them and actually started a picture where I have them framed and I keep adding to it. This magical gift has also been passed on to my daughter..............One thing I have most always found....when you find one.........look closely........there are usually two. Sometimes even more.....a 4- leaf clover patch.........how many do you see in the picture above? I'll tell you tomorrow......LOL.
I keep a small dish of my 4-leaf clovers on the buffet for my friends and guests to take some Irish luck home with them.
Today, I will especially think of my Irish Grandparents and their love of Ireland and be proud I really am Irish. May you all have a blessed day .............
I'll be...in the studio.
