From A Druid Way: "One link between the objective and the subjective is awen, inspiration, the flow of spirit, which lets us evoke in others an echo of our original experience. Let the echo be strong enough, let our understanding of this thing called being human, and our skill in working with it, run equal to the task, and music, image, voice, story, object of craft can all serve to unite us in the experience of mystery. An echo from outside awakens a resonance within us."
I've been reading this Creation Novena from the Indian Catholic Matters site:
2. Druid peace prayer:
Day 7: A Prayer for the Climate
Creator God, we give thanks for the climate. Thank You for the interplay of land, water, and heat that gives rise to the weather patterns. Thank You for the complexity and beauty of all Your systems on Earth.
Thank You for the exquisite balance that has cradled humanity. Thank You for the steady predictability of rain and heat that has for centuries allowed us to grow crops, husband livestock, and thrive.
As we wreak havoc on Your climate, especially through our insistent burning of fossil fuels, give us wisdom. Help us find our rightful place in the great fabric of Your creation.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Deep within the still center of my being, may I find peace.Quietly, within the silence of this grove, may I share peace.
Gently, within the greater circle of humankind, may I radiate peace.
—The Druid’s Prayer for Peace
3. Prayer journal queries:This week of advent my focus is the Guiding Light of God. I keep a prayer journal, which is a way to speak to my Inner Guide. Today I ask and answer these queries:
What is being born again, in and through and as me?
What is awakening in me? How can I help to shape it?
What divine child or gift am I ready to bring into our world?
