Things you discover while researching a novel: The Druid's Prayer

One of the things I love about being a writer is the ongoing invitation/obligation to learn new things. I'm working on a novel in which one of the characters is a follower of Druidry. In researching for him, I came across this wonderful prayer, which seems intensely needed for our moment: The Druid's Prayer Grant, O God, Thy protection; And in protection, strength; And in strength, understanding; And in understanding, knowledge; And in knowledge, the knowledge of justice; And in the knowledge of justice, the love of it; And in that love, the love of all existences; And in the love of all existences, the love of God. A circle of prayer, for you, for me, and for the world.
