Is giorra cabhair Dé ná an doras.
Divine help is closer than the door.
(Celtic proverb)
If you have a few moments, please watch Blessings, a short film, at Emergence Magazine. There are no ads, no spamming of any sort. It’s a beautiful reading of part of David Whyte’s Blessings poems.
Robin is a photographer, artist, writer, yoga teacher, sometime poet, wife, mom, grandma, daughter, sister, friend, and occasional traveler currently living on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. She shares her daily walks and meanders, a lot of quotes, some of her artwork, and a lot of her photography here on Ye Olde Blogge. Older posts can be found at Life in the Bogs, her previous blog.
Robin and her husband are (still!) in the midst of renovating the house and cleaning up the property they refer to as the Wabi-Sabi Ranch, 35 acres that include marsh, a dock on a tidal creek, meadows, and woodlands. Every day brings new discoveries.

Oh wow–thank you for this. I feel broken wide open after watching it–wanting to be more alive, more hearing, more seeing, not just surfing on the surface of things. So very rich. A blessing this morning indeed!
So deeply beautiful, Robin. The scenery took me back to when I visited my daughter and her family when they were living in Ireland. We walked quietly along paths like these. A precious memory blessed. Thank you!
You had me right from start with David Whyte. I am a huge fan of his poetry. This short film brought tears to my eyes. So very beautiful, this gratitude for life, for listening, for seeing, for being. Many, many thanks for sharing.
What a blessing this video is- all perfect. I am an avid fan of blessing in all situations – and this piece of beauty blessed me all through, so now I am sending the link on to others

I’ve never heard that Celtic proverb, but I like the truth in it. ‘Tis a blessing to know it– and take its meaning to heart.
