A Blessing For Sophia

Fishes and tales

And a fisherman's daughter

Walks in the rain,

She walks to the water

To the sea.

-Daniel Lanois, Fisherman's Daughter

May you always know banks and shores, still and flowing waters, sandbars and sloughs, marshes, ponds, and oxbows, tides and eddies, creeks, brooks, seas, springs, streams, rivers, riffles, rapids, oceans, lakes, falls, pools, holes, and drifts.

May you live life abundantly knee deep in living waters, and leave your mark on every path you choose.
