The First Day of Spring Blessing

Erin Keane

 

Today is the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The birds are beginning to return to the trees and play on the ground. Their songs are frequent, soothing. When they sing you can hear the Earth’s love for them in their song. It’s as though the birds are celebrating the earth’s excitement and joy as it awakens to the hopes for buds and flowers. The same kind of hope when your body longs to return outdoors and feel the sun against your skin.

This relationship of the birds and the earth is one deeply rooted in love and connection. They love each other; they are connected to one another. The birds sing the song of the Earth’s heart.

You are blessed to hear this love song. This love becomes a part of you. How blessed you are.

(Side note) The tiny bird in the picture is an Eastern Bluebird. I discovered the little bird in my trees today. Bluebirds bestow spiritual gifts of happiness and goodness. They also are an invitation from nature to you: Spend more time in nature. Go outside. There is much happiness for you there.

Blessings, Erin

The Epiphany of the Glorious Night Sky

Erin Keane
Blessing of the Night Sky

In the early weeks of December the Moon was shining in the morning sky amongst the blue skies and light of day. It was a beautiful sight that filled me with a sense of happiness and calm. I felt as though the universe was saying, “I am glad you are here.” There is such beautiful wonder in this earth we are blessed to live upon and interact with.

As I write of this beautiful encounter of the Moon my mind begins to think of the Magi with their eyes toward the skies. I imagine they witnessed so much majesty in the night skies. And being so in tune with the natural world they were able to not only see but feel there was a deep LOVE awakening in the universe…a LOVE that has always been here but was birthing itself in a way that people could witness and feel close to.

The Magi noticed a glorious light in the night sky. They were able to pause and notice not only with their eyes but also with their hearts that there was a birthing of grace in this glorious light. Their openness and awareness of listening to their hearts allowed them to follow the glorious light and see where it lead them- to receive the gift of great LOVE. And their awareness and calm in noticing and being connected to the natural world allowed them to be changed by this LOVE.

This LOVE is still here…

All around you.

Our Earth and skies are filled with blessings of divine LOVE. Allow yourself to take the time to pause and look up at the skies. And as you do may you too feel this great LOVE for you.

Be still.

Listen to your own breathing.

Calm your mind.

Feel.

And open yourself to all the wonder.

Blessings, Erin

A Blessing and Prayer for Grace

Erin Keane

How are you today?

Last week I felt a strong sense of the presence of Grace in our lives. There is so much each of us hold: both pain and joy, sorrow and hope, loneliness and togetherness. There is also much beauty in our choice of how to open our hearts, to feel, to experience life. This is where Grace happens: in both the beautiful and difficult.

This prayer/poem is my gift to you. May there be openings in your life where you can feel and experience Grace. Grace is freely given always just because you are you. You are Beloved.

A Prayer for Grace

Grace is falling
falling from the skies;
it comes in thunderous waves of rain
and bright rays of sun
that embrace the land
everyone and everything are
within its reach
and touch.

Grace is rising
rising up from the earth
it comes in the songs of the birds
the beauty of the flowers and trees
inviting you to come closer
to see with your own eyes
to touch with your own skin
to feel within your own body.

Grace is speaking
speaking from the Spirit of Creation
from the tender mouth of God,
that dwells inside
every bud,
every wave,
every beam of light,
every person,
every creature,
every particle of life.

Grace is
LOVE
birthing,
resurrecting,
opening,
healing
You.

Grace is
MERCY
accepting,
embracing,
forgiving,
loving
You.

Grace is yours:
it is your gift
of God’s great Love for you
freely given,
alive,
everywhere,
within you,
and always upon you.

Amen.

Blessings of Grace upon you today and always,
Erin

St. Patrick’s Day Blessing for You

Erin Keane

May you always feel the sun on your back,
and the wind in your hair.
May you always find joy

and the touch of the grass between your toes.
May you always be blessed
with love all around you,
now,
forever,
& eternally.
Amen

Blessings, Erin

Prayer during Difficult Times: Prayer during Natural Disasters

Erin Keane

Where are you God
in all of this—
all that we feel,
even our Earth is crying—
She burns,
and her seas rage,
and her lands tremble—
even the beauty of her
seems to hurt.

I can’t find you…
—I’ve forgotten how to pray—
It’s just so much.

But then the sun rises
with its halo of burnt embers
And its light shines
through the haze
for Light always finds
its way through
and I am reminded
that you are still here—

and I realize these words
–here on this paper—
is my prayer
And each time someone reads
these words,
this becomes their prayer too—

Our voices rise.

We call out:
Please listen to our hearts,
God—
May you bring peace
to our worried minds;
May you bring healthy air to all
who need to breathe;
May you bring calm
to all those who feel chaos;
May you bestow protection
upon all who fear.
May you quench the fires,
quiet the seas,
bring harmony back to the lands.
May you lift our world
into your hands of LOVE.
We need you God,
we need you here with us.

Amen.

Blessings, Erin

Let Your Spirit Soar

Erin Keane

Let Your Spirit Soar

How are you?

Today my family and I were walking in our neighborhood and this magnificent Red Tailed Hawk flew low over us a couple times. I always carry my camera with me and was blessed to capture this magical bird as it soared, wings open wide…

Hawks are known as Spirit messengers, and as I gazed upon this photograph, the message I believe the bird is inviting us to experience is Peace.

Our world feels very upside down right now, but nature in its divine design reminds us that there is balance and harmony at the center of all things, including us. This is peace: being centered, feeling whole within ourselves…

So look into the skies. Let the blue light of day calm you and as it does let yourself fly: dream again, hope, and feel the love of creation holding you upon its breath.🦋

Blessings, Erin

Remember to Dream

Erin Keane

How are you today?

I’ve thought of many things I want to write. Many things I want to share. I didn’t realize how tired my mind and body would become over these days of staying home with my family of five. So I haven’t written much lately…But I have still thought of you, and sent blessings to you…🦋

In the early days of March, when life suddenly changed, I think my body was running on adrenaline. And my mind was so alert, that all the words and emotions I felt came out freely upon the paper. Your welcome acceptance of receiving blessings and stories I’ve shared has been such a gift.

Thank you.🦋

I have many things I still want to share with you.

How have your days been? Where have your thoughts been taking you? Are you still allowing yourself to hope & dream?

The other day, my family and I walked along a beautiful hill by our home. I asked my daughter to run up the hill so I could take her picture. As I watched her run, I had an awareness of memory, a feeling of freedom, from my childhood: the wind blowing in my hair, the sense of leaping into the great wide sky, and imagining I could fly. Later that night, I sat for awhile and thought about how tired I’ve been. How I’ve lost my sense of feeling carefree. I actually, cried a deep ache I was feeling that night. I guess I was holding in too much grief. But the next day I looked back through my photos and saw the one I’m sharing with you. Something about the edge of the sky and my daughter running towards the top of the hill, opened my heart again. As I listened to my heart I heard my inner child whispering to me, whispering to the inner child inside each of us:

“Don’t be dismayed…

Remember when you were free, my child
and run with your dreams,
ready to soar into the arms of hope,
the light of possibility…

The world is still calling to you.”

Messages of Hope During Covid-19

So give yourself a simple gift today…Remember your dreams…and let them awaken something marvelous inside you…

…and, Rekindle the fire of hope in your soul.

I hope you keep dreaming. I hope you find ways to let your spirit soar!

Blessings, Erin

The Moon’s Blessing

Erin Keane

How are you tonight?

Pink Moon Blessing

Even in darkness
LIGHT ALWAYS
finds a way to shine through.

Just look up into the night sky
see the light of the moon
reflecting the sun’s love upon you.

May you feel this loving light upon you
bringing Healing, Hope and Blessings
to your mind, body and soul.

Blessings, Erin

**This is a photograph I took last night (April 7, 2020) of the Pink Moon in Massachusetts. Last night’s moon was also a supermoon. A supermoon is when the moon is closest to the earth in its orbit; and it is 100 percent illuminated. The Pink Moon spiritually signifies rebirth and renewal. Its presence in the night sky also reminds us that life has cycles of hibernation and rebirth.

Blessings of beautiful dreams for you, Erin

A Morning Blessing for You

Erin Keane

Morning Blessing

Whether it is morning, daytime, sunset or nightfall, the air around us speaks to our bodies, it fills us, and touches us. It transforms us when we welcome its kindness and love. For it is always present. Always there. Just like divine love. Breathe today with a welcoming of air. Feel the way your soul awakens to the touch of its gentle presence upon your skin. Imagine each breath you take is awakening your mind, body and soul to healing.

Then..

Offer gratitude into the world for the gift of the air that you breathe… Be still and breathe.

Your breath is a blessing.

Blessings of healing in each breath you take today and always, Erin
