A blessing is a way of finding and being found by grace. Glynn Cardy's new volume of prayer poems reflects his own journey in ministry and spirituality. He acknowledges that prayer and blessing is integral to the Judeo-Christian tradition that formed him but draws more and more on his Celtic ancestry to find mystery and meaning and blessing in the everyday. He rejoices in the presence of the mystery we call God in people, places, events that touch us - usually unbidden, unexpected - to comfort and strengthen us in our life's journey. The titles of the seventy 'blessings' are themselves constant reminders of the daily encounters of blessings in his life - and ours. Children, home, cats and teaspoons, clowns and lemon trees - unlikely sources of prayer but integral to his openness to the gift that is at the heart of every blessing.
