Meditation of Eternal Love
Sacred Memory - January 31st
Physical Setting
Create a quiet space where you can be undisturbed. If possible, hold something that connects you to your child - a small piece of clothing, a toy, or simply wrap yourself in a soft blanket. Have a white candle nearby to represent eternal light and love.
Opening
[Find yourself in a sacred grove where the snow falls so gently it seems to float. Each snowflake carries its own soft light, like countless tiny stars descending to embrace you.]
Màthair na Tròcair, cum mi dlùth
Mother of Mercy, hold me close
Mar a chumas màthair a leanabh
As a mother holds her child
[Feel the Mother's presence gathering around you like a warm cloak, strong enough to hold all your grief.]
Cluinn mo chridhe briste
Hear my broken heart
Body
[See yourself seated beneath a great mother tree. Its branches reach up to the stars while its roots curl protectively around you. The space between earth and sky becomes a sacred cradle.]
Tha mo ghaol mar na rionnagan
My love is like the stars
A' deàrrsadh tro na sgòthan
Shining through the clouds
[Watch as gentle lights begin to dance among the falling snow, each one carrying a precious memory. They swirl around you like playful spirits.]
Ged a dh'atharraich an t-slighe
Though the path has changed
Tha an gaol a' fàs nas làidire
The love grows stronger
[Feel the earth beneath you soften, creating a space that holds both your love and your sorrow with infinite tenderness.]
Tha gach deòir mar shìol naomh
Each tear is like a sacred seed
A' cuimhneachadh ar ceangal
Remembering our bond
Nach tèid a bhriseadh gu bràth
That will never be broken
Closing
[As twilight deepens, see the northern lights begin to dance above, bridging heaven and earth with rivers of light.]
Màthair, glèidh mo ghaol
Mother, keep my love
[Watch as the lights form a path between the stars, a reminder that love transcends all boundaries.]
Dèan mo chridhe làidir
Make my heart strong
Gus an coinnich sinn a-rithist
Until we meet again
[Feel the eternal circle of love that connects all hearts across all realms of existence.]
Is cum ar n-anam còmhla
And keep our souls together
Afterthought
As you hold this sacred space in your heart, consider:
How does your love continue to grow and change? What messages of love would you like to send on the dancing lights?
Remember: As the stars continue to shine even when we cannot see them, so too does the bond between parent and child remain eternal and unbroken.

This is lovely! Have you considered making a voiceover so the words pronounce well??
This is absolutely beautiful. Especially with tomorrow being Imbolc.
