A Quote about Blessing from Filling Words With Light by Lawrence Kushner

A Coach's Blessing

"The one who offers a blessing is like a coach whispering to an athlete before a competition, 'You can do it!' More than encouragement, positive spin, or sincere wish, the words of blessing literally bring forth and make real an otherwise unrealizable force. In this way, blessing is not supplication but symbiosis. God needs us to summon blessings, just as we could not live without them."
