Impromtu Prayer

Funny how the smallest things can be some of the most spiritual. Sitting around a campfire in the company of friends for a few hours, watching the moon and the stars and partaking of good conversation can be the most grounding experience in the world, and perhaps one of the most fulfilling. Yes, full-blown intricate ritual is important. But so is sitting back and marveling at the natural magick that occurs all around us without our even noticing it.

So next time you're feeling stressed or afraid or overwhelmed, take a moment and remember the last time you sat with friends and family and roasted marshmallows, or went swimming in a stream, or even just walked around the park. Remember how marvelous it feels to know that you're loved. For you are loved. If no one else tells you that, know that I love you, as I love every one of the God and Goddess' creations. But recall that feeling of calm and love and let it fill you, let it wash away all the stress and the fear, and let it fill you with a sustaining light that will carry you through whatever troubles you are facing. Times will be tough; they're never easy. But if we can recall those moments of pure simplicity, pure love and beauty and magick, I feel that we can get through them unscathed and better people.

Blessed be,
Emer
