Spring Scouts’ Own: Thoughts and Prayers
Spring Prayer:
In the lengthening of days, Snowdrops emerging, from winter's frozen ground.
WE SEE THE CREATOR'S HAND
In the sight of a tiny lamb joyfully bounding across hillside farm
WE SEE THE CREATOR'S HAND
Imbolc prayer
Blessed be the earth, and all who dwell upon it.
We give thanks for the season now departing from us, For the blessings it has bestowed upon us,
And upon those with whom we share this world.
Blessed be the new season. We pray that it will be a time filled with peace, With abundance, with prosperity, With wisdom, With love.
Blessed be all who share this feast. Let us now prepare for the time ahead By opening our hearts, and our minds, and our spirits. Blessed be.
“That is one good thing about this world...there are always sure to be more springs.” L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea
“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”
Pablo Neruda
St. Brigid’s Blessing
May Brigid bless the house wherein we dwell.
Bless every fireside, every wall and door.
Bless every heart that beats beneath its roof.
Bless every hand that toils to bring its joy.
Bless every foot that walks portals through.
May Brigid bless the house that shelters us.
It Must Be Spring
Hush, can you hear it?
The rustling in the grass, Bringing you the welcome news that Winter's day is past.
Soft, can you feel it?
The warm caressing breeze, Telling you the sticky buds
Are bursting on the trees. Look, can you see them?
The primrose in the lane. Now you must believe itSpring is here again.
- May Fenn
