Today is Saint Jerome's Day, celebrated by the Pueblo people. Saint Jerome was a priest, linguist, hermit, translator, Bible scholar, and hospice administrator.
Today, celebrate the many roles you play. I'm a daughter, sister, partner, mother, librarian, teacher, volunteer, author, and friend, to name a few. How about you? Find five small stones, four similar and one distinct. Lay the four stones in four directions, and the other in the middle. Touch the western stone: "Sturdy earth, great mother, guide me," Touch the north stone: "Air, bless me with inspiration," Touch the east stone: "Fan the fire of decisive action," Touch the south stone: "Water, nurture all I do," Pick up the center stone: "Touchstone, spirit, be with me, and be all of these, in every role." Carry the touchstone with you. |
