Chief Bones

The following old Irish blessing comes to mind:

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

With the following Naval blessing:

(I wish you) Fair winds and following seas, (the rest of the days of your life) ...
and long may your big jib draw. (in fair weather and in foul)

As you will notice, I use the Naval blessing as part of my signature.
