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.
