Deoch Mass 11-24-2021 - Counting Blessings



The Eulogy is upon us. That time honored tradition where the many races of Temuair come together to worship an aspect of our Lady Danaan and remember Her sacrifice to seal away Chadul. It is a ceremony so revered that you’ll even see many long lapsed Aislings return to Temuair briefly to take part in the rites.

This is a time of remembrance and thankfulness not only for Danaan but also in our everyday lives. The worlds in which we exist, be they in this dream or otherwise, can be filled with so much darkness that a reminder to take a moment to remember the Light in our lives is a welcome one.

When I look back upon my life here in Temuair, I recognize the many blessings I have been given. I have been a part of three wonderful guilds that have been as family to me. I count a great many Aislings as friends and colleagues, their friendships have made me a better person over time. I have also been fortunate to have found love, perhaps the greatest of all the blessings.

And then there is being blessed with people like all of you here, those who humble me by coming to hear words in Deoch’s temple. Temuair has brought me a wealth of inspiration and been an enrichment of my life, and for that I will always be thankful.

So, what is it that you are thankful for? Take a moment to count the blessings of Light in your life; sometimes just setting aside a moment to do so can put things back into perspective.

Recognize the Light in your life; stave off the darkness that tries so hard to engulf us all. Let this be the lesson we carry forward from this time of Eulogy.
