Be Thou My Vision: St. Patrick – March 17


Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Year of the Wood Dragon

A powerful visionary, the Wood Dragon, finds potential in  regeneration like the energy coming forth in nature, when a flower blooms or the expanding out of the new season.

Dragons represent soft, cooperative, power. Their energy isn’t always properly respected, causing imbalances like storms howling in spring.

  1. moderate your energy and efforts
  2. summon your inner dragon, be creative, resourceful, and adaptive
  3. imagine the deep roots of trees that allow them to live long, and remain steady through the many seasons of life.

Love Letter to God the Almighty

Book of Genesis, Yahweh “breathed into his nostrils a breath of Life, and thus man was born.” By choosing to believe in Love, we breathe our breath into that Love, giving Love that authority

Dear Love,

A vision has emerged through You and for You
Heaven and earth inter-communicating
A bridge connecting the two to be walked on
Rising to the union of God, marrying us to You

A little house on a prairie
Deemed a place that is Holy and True
where we, your creation, can reel in our society
and how far it has gone away from You

A chapel that worships your Grace
Made by our human hands
in the hands of time
placed in the hands of God

A kitchen connected to rooms
that heal, fast, and find your glory
Wipe clean ego and self
healing that comes from a super natural source
without our savior, Jesus Christ, we are stuck in our sin

A garden that is tilled for the Glory of God
that can feed us
Nourish our knowledge in the Tree of Life

A place that earnestly seeks Your Will
A place that is not flattened out by secularism

A community, a holy shroud
that has undying faith and never loses hope
A people who find ways to come together in love.
Sacrifice to protect one another
Unify our building blocks, our God given gifts
to build our future
A people who together not finding divides.
Knowledge that we are together
and stronger in You

Magic Doors leading to You
Entering saying to each other “darling I’m here for you”
Offering our true presence to each other
Breathing together
Doors leading to
acceptance
gratitude
true self-esteem
intuition
compassion
inner peace
faith
one-ness
devotion

A place where we can be inside of you
and you inside of us

Our Sacredness

The Guest House by Rumi
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
— Jellaludin Rumi, a sufi monk during the 13th century
