For those of you who are retired or getting close to retiring I hope you can take some Inspiration from John O‘Donohue. I love everything about this blessing, with every line carrying a potent offering.

This book is special to me not only because of the brilliance of this Irishman but because I purchased this collection while traveling in Ireland.

Jeg I wish time would slow but I don't know about you Sue but for me it has speeded up. 4w

Suet624 @Jeg I‘ve worked for years under a great deal of stress and a fast pace. So I‘ve had to come to terms with the fact that I don‘t have to rush, that I can read for hours in a chair or go for long walks. I still see kids and grandkids and have a variety of obligations but it all feels much slower. I have to remind myself that this a good thing. That I can explore other things I didn‘t have time for before. And yet, I know what you mean. 🔽 4w
Suet624 Days feel quicker and sometimes I can‘t keep up. What do you find is making time speed up? (edited) 4w
Jeg My dad always said the older he got the faster time went . So I‘m thinking maybe just getting older is what makes it seem to be going faster. 4w
Suet624 @Jeg A spiritual person once said that the speed of our life was like an audio tape. As the right side of the tape was getting closer to the end the wheel was moving very quickly. So that would support your feeling life was speeding up. 😊. (Don‘t know if that makes sense the way I wrote it, but…) (edited) 4w
Mollyanna I am six months from retirement and this was perfect! Thank you for sharing. 4w
Suet624 @Mollyanna it‘s a roller coaster ride, one of delight and sometimes confusion about your worth and what to do next. At least it was for me. One that you‘ll eventually find your way through. This blessing really helps to provide some comfort and direction. Stay in touch and let me know how it‘s going once you embark on that journey. 3w
Mollyanna That is helpful to hear. I have had mixed emotions as it gets nearer, from excitement to straight up fear to hope to everything. I will definitely keep this blessing in my back pocket for reassurance 😊. 3w
Suet624 @Mollyanna best wishes to you. 💕💕 3w
Mollyanna Thank you! 💕 3w

A Book of Pagan Prayer | Ceisiwr Serith

I‘ve been trying to process this one for ages now. The first part is a good conversation starter. The second half is such a patchwork of pre-fab prayers it‘s hard to take them as genuine. Maybe if this had been done as a collaboration between the author and other people on the paths for these prayers it might seem more genuine and therefore be more helpful. By the end, my eyes were sort of crossed and I was just happy it was over.

GingerAntics I still feel “I‘ll pray for you” as a passive aggressive move or a way to absolve oneself of doing nothing at best and blaming others for things out of their control at worst has ruined open, genuine prayer for everyone. 6mo

We are reading Emerson right now in my 11th grade co-taught English class. I bought this book of his poem, “ Father, We Thank You” because its impressionist style illustrations are quietly beautiful.

@MaleficentBookDragon @Yuki_Onna

Yuki_Onna Heeeyyy, how quick! 😊 I just now realized that I forgot to include a Christmas Card. 🙄 So typically me, this - Sorry, Abi... But I hope you'll like my choices! 😊🤗

@MaleficentBookDragon Could you please mail/post the tracking number of the swap parcel for me, Chelle? You know, there's still issues with the German delivery services. So many parcels are lost/dropped off randomly - with the tracking number I could investigate 🤓

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This is specifically about prayer, but embedded in that is all her ways of making you feel like openness and goodness and God, whoever She really is, are important and easy and just possible in ways that in everyday life seem...less possible. I wish it had been a bit longer or more full or somehow made me slow down & reflect, but there is also much I will take with me, and I'm, as always, grateful for her voice & care.

AmyG Well said. She is a favorite of mine. 2y

Simply papercut style art paired with an extensive collection of prayers, poems and songs from various traditions on the subject of gratitude. Too religious for me personally, so more of a so-so than a pick, but there are some real gems hidden in these pages, and it seemed appropriate for today.

Happy Thanksgiving to any Littens celebrating today, and a day of joy and peace to all!

AnnR Wishing you a happy day. 🍁🌻 Enjoy your reading of 2y
