#blessing — Public Fediverse posts

The question I asked in today's issue, and I mean it as a real one: what have you actually turned your face toward this week, and what did it cost you to keep looking? I'm answering every one of these in the comments under the piece.

The goldenrod does not check the roll call, and tonight neither do you. Carry what's yours.

Set the rest down at the door like muddy boots — because it is muddy, and it isn't yours, and you've been hauling it up the stairs all week like a martyr with a subscription.

Tha sinn fhathast an seo, agus tha an talamh a' cuimhneachadh — we are still here, and the earth remembers.

Put one hand flat on the nearest solid thing. Table, wall, tree, floor. Leave it there for one whole breath before you read another headline.

The empire can schedule its shabby little votes for four in the morning if it wants. #Gàidhlig #Gaelic #Alba #MastoDaoine #Druid #Folklore #Lùnastal #Blessing #Solidarity #QueerNews #Seasons

A quotation from Homer

And in return may the gods grant you your heart’s desire; may they give you a husband and a home, and the harmony that is so much to be desired, since there is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends, as they themselves know better than anyone.
 
[Σοὶ δὲ θεοὶ τόσα δοῖεν, ὅσα φρεσὶ σῇσι μενοινᾷς,
ἄνδρα τε καὶ οἶκον, καὶ ὁμοφροσύνην ὀπάσειαν
ἐσθλήν· οὐ μὲν γὰρ τοῦ γε κρεῖσσον καὶ ἄρειον,
ἢ ὅθ’ ὁμοφρονέοντε νοήμασιν οἶκον ἔχητον
ἀνὴρ ἠδὲ γυνή· πόλλ’ ἄλγεα δυσμενέεσσι,
χάρματα δ’ εὐμενέτῃσι· μάλιστα δέ τ’ ἔκλυον αὐτοί.]

Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author
The Odyssey [Ὀδύσσεια], Book 6, l. 180ff (6.180) [Odysseus to Nausicaa] (c. 700 BC) [tr. Rieu (1946)]

Fosgail an geata. Fàg fosgailte e. Open the gate. Leave it open.
That's the whole instruction. It has one moving part. You either move it or you don't, and everything else I wrote this morning is me trying to say that in Gaelic and failing at a decent length.

Cùm grèim, ach na cùm cho teann 's gun bris thu.
Hold on — but not so tight that you break.
You're allowed to be furious and tender in the same breath. The land is both at once, all the time, and it has never once apologized.

"Why does #Judaism have a #blessing for almost everything? From #AsherYatzar, the famous bathroom blessing, to blessings for rainbows, brilliant scholars, human difference, and even grief, #Jewishtradition turns everyday moments into spiritual awareness. These five surprising #Jewish #blessings reveal how Judaism uses gratitude, #mindfulness, #Torah, and #prayer to find meaning in the ordinary and extraordinary."

Cha dìochuimhnich sinn — 's e sin an t-aire.
We do not forget — that is the tending.

Name the ones they want you to forget. Tie the color to the fence. Keep the stubborn small thing alive on the back step. You will not resolve the day; you only carry it forward, the way the river carries what the dam couldn't stop.

Got this just now at Krishna Matha #Udupi #India.

Traditionally, this is an invitation from the paryaaya Swamiji to receive "prasaada" along with the main meal.

an teas mòr — the great heat. The stretch of July when the earth stops resting even after dark, when the pressure aloft sits like a lid on a pot and the whole eastern half of the country simmers beneath it.

Tha an oidhche fhèin blàth — even the night is warm — and the body files it away as a grief it can't yet name.

Go the way the river goes. It does not ask permission. Neither do you.

The blackberries darken on the cane without asking. The bog fills without applause. Somewhere a queer legislator is saying the hard thing into a microphone, and somewhere a stranger is kneeling in a marsh that isn't theirs to save and saving it anyway.

Beannachd leat gu ruige an ath-mhadainn — blessing on you until the next morning.

Slow Down, Soul Up (A Witch’s Perspective)

https://goddesshasyourback.com/2026/06/30/slow-down-soul-up-a-witchs-perspective/

Robinson—English Presbyterian minister—observes that wealth confers a particular capacity poverty does not: to relieve prisoners, feed the hungry, ransom captives. He frames this as mercy from God, an opportunity rather than mere possession. One notes that considerable contemporary wealth appears directed at the opposite project: persuading the rest of us to feel less compassion for those being imprisoned or starved. Same resource. Rather different application.

Ach cha bhi thu nad aonar — but you will not be alone.
The heat is coming and the truce is fraying and the label still looms — and still the cicadas sing, the scrap garden reaches, the neighbors hang their flags on every lawn the state can't reach.
Carry it the way the clay carries the rain: not by holding it, but by letting it move through and feed what grows.

The blessing that closes today's Gathering. Three imperatives, no resolution asked of you tonight — only to go on, the way the river goes on past the courthouse and the kitchen, not knowing the sea, not needing to.
