St. Astrid's Day Benediction

For those who were not present or could not hear, my Benediction as told at Feast:

Blessed are those of rebel heart
Who bristle 'gainst the grain
Whose lungs burn bright into the dark
When all others would refrain
Whose morality and virtues are never fading
Despite an apathy all too often pervading
Who understand perfection as nothing but a fable
A claim no mortal man may make, no matter name or rank or table
For our extended family on this and every night
We call upon the Gods to say, praise be to the Light.
