Dear Ones,

This Irish blessing came to the shore of my consciousness this morning, thinking about humanity’s future.

Perhaps it did come because of Sandra and her husband’s upcoming trip to Erin, the land associated with lush, green landscape and rolling hills, as well as Irish pride.

May the road rise to meet you,

may the wind be always at your back,

may the sun shine warm upon your face,

and the rain fall soft upon your fields,

and until we meet again,

may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

This blessing is often used to bid farewell and wish someone well on their journey, encompassing both physical travel and life’s journey. 

This is a prayer for divine protection and guidance until the next encounter. 

The phrase “may the road rise to meet you” is a literal translation of the Irish phrase “go n-éirí an bóthar leat,” which can also be understood as “may you succeed on the road,” according to IrishCentral. The blessing’s roots can be traced back to ancient Irish culture and its appreciation for nature and religion.
