The Blessing of Swiftness

Today you reach into the blessing bowl* and pull out a small metal token embossed with the word SWIFTNESS . Why have you selected it today? The following is my impression of the word and my blessing for you.

May the Spirit of Swiftness bless you today
Help good things to come your way
And in your life continue to stay.

May you be quick to seize an opportunity
Or to recognize a new trend.

May you be quick to spot danger
So any negative effect you can upend.

May you be quick to recognize a kindred spirit
So you can enjoy the company of a new friend.



*The inspiration for the blessing bowl comes from the novel Troubles Waters by Sharron Shinn. I have also been to bookstores, churches, and workshops that had baskets or bowls from which people could draw small cards to be used as inspiration or as a focus for contemplation.
