Apologies for another re-posting, but think of it as re-freshing, and considering our uncertain world, we certainly need to refresh our brains with that that is sweet and kind and good.
Below are passages from a lovely book titled, A House Blessing, by Welleran Poltarness. The book is a bit saccharin, but still beautiful in it’s writing and illustrations, and it crosses my mind every now and then. I’ve carried it to two different homes and soon will take it to a third, but I also know two other ladies who will be changing their dwellings, and I send them these thoughts as I take the words and turn them over in my own heart.
All who live and visit here shall be friends. Kindliness and harmony shall be the watchwords.
Let this be the place of peace, offering refuge from chaos and doubt, and manifesting in its orderliness, a model for the larger world.
May all celebrations be, in this house, feasts of creativity and companionship.
Let those within it share numberless passages of the sun and moon, and happiness fill them to overflowing.
I wish for you, in this sheltered place, the freedom, calm and leisure to play and explore.
