Today was the Blessing of the Waters
We stood in the pouring rain and yet it was a beautiful time! Thanks to Jane, there are nice photos I posted on my project365 blog. What a wonderful blessing every hour of this day has been!

Hey Tia, email me your address so I can send you a pic of me and my daughter. spiritualmechanic@yahoo.com
Matushka Beth (yesterday) told me you guys were trying to figure out who I was, and I wasn’t there today. I’ve been in Dallas for about a week as well, which makes it hard to find me. lol

I will try Julie… :-). It’s new to me and I’m not sure I fully grasped the whole idea.
From what I gathered here and there, it seems to go back to the fall of Adam and the cosmic shift the world underwent with the introduction of sin into the world. The blessing of the waters then is a way to bless the “life” that the water gives and provides to both in and on it, a move toward restoration.
Fr. Stephen wrote something on it last week; the post is called Crushing the heads of dragons. Last night he added , which explains it most wonderfully imo. this one
