THURSDAY NIGHT

Candle flickers, day's end,
    Winter shivers, nights' friend;
         Brightness echoes heart's giving,
              Soul's quickness ever-living.

I cleanse my soul in the well of wisdom,
         protection of being,
         strength of mind,
         healing of heart,
    be the triple cleansing of wisdom.
May the blessing-drop be upon all beings,
     conferring wisdom from swift twilight
         til dawn's chill light.

The blessing of the Eagle-winged Renewer,
    the blessing of the Raven-winged Transformer,
         attend my soul this Winter's night.
             May all that burdens my being
                   be lifted as I mount on wings of
                        dreams this night.

from the Celtic Devotional by Caitlin Matthews

A peaceful night to you all.
