Dear Engaged Couples,
My heart goes out to you all as we enter another phase of ambiguity when it comes to gathering from hither and yon. This reading by Lucille Clifton keeps coming up.
Blessing the Boats
“Blessing the Boats (at St. Mary’s)” by Lucille Clifton
may the tide
that is entering even now
the lip of our understanding
carry you out
beyond the face of fear
may you kiss
the wind then turn from it
certain that it will
love your back
may you
open your eyes to water
water waving forever
and may you in your innocence
sail through this to that
