I thought I share this beautiful poem I heard on the radio. I find it comforting when I'm down. Maybe it will help others. It's Gaelic.
Beannacht
On the day when the weight deadens on your shoulder
And you stumble,
May the clay dance to balance you.And when your eyes freeze behind the grey window
And the ghost of loss gets into you,
May a flock of colours, indigo, red, green and azure blue
Come to awaken in you a meadow of delight.When the canvas frays in the curach of your thought
And a stain of ocean blackens beneath you,
May there come across the waters
A path of yellow moonlight to bring you safely home.May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
may the clarity of the light be yours,
may the fluency of the ocean be yours,
may the protection of the ancestors be yours.
And so may a slow wind work these words of love around you,
An invisible cloak to mind your life.
