"May you always walk in sunshine,
May you never want for more;
May the (Scandinavian) angels rest their wings
Right beside your door!"

(modified) Irish Blessing from a dear “lifetime” friend in a letter opened today


The sun is a drum                              the moon is a cymbalThe flow of time is caught in a cup.
Cupful by                  cupful by                                   cupful timeis cut; if not,                     we should choke.
By night in the northern quarter the Dipperor Northern Ladle or Bushel Measureturns like the hand of a clock measuring timealthough no punctuating tick or tocknotches its arc, sunset to sunrise.
Its handle divides the year into seasons,pointing towards earth at dusk in autumn,upward at dusk in spring, in wintertwilight west, in summer east.
And so it is and was and shall bebut not world without end (and neitherwas it so from the world’s beginning).

The sun is a drum
                              the moon is a cymbal
The flow of time is caught in a cup.

Cupful by
                  cupful by
                                   cupful time
is cut; if not,
                     we should choke.

By night in the northern quarter the Dipper
or Northern Ladle or Bushel Measure
turns like the hand of a clock measuring time
although no punctuating tick or tock
notches its arc, sunset to sunrise.

Its handle divides the year into seasons,
pointing towards earth at dusk in autumn,
upward at dusk in spring, in winter
twilight west, in summer east.

And so it is and was and shall be
but not world without end (and neither
was it so from the world’s beginning).
