May the touch of your skin
Register the beauty
Of the otherness
That surrounds you.
May your listening be attuned
To the deepest silence
Where sound is honed
To bring distance home.
May the fragrance
Of a breathing meadow
Refresh your heart
And remind you you are
A child of the earth.
And when you partake
Of food and drink,
May your taste quicken
To the gift and sweetness
That flows from the earth.
May your inner eye
See through the surfaces
And glean the real presence
Of everything that meets you.
May your soul beautify
The desire of your eyes
That you might glimpse
The infinity that hides
In the simple sights
That seem worn to your usual eyes.
from To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings by John O'Donohue

That's lovely.
To attempt to answer your question on my blog, I think this will work to adding a Good Reads gadget to your blog. From Good Reads, you will put together a badge: http://www.goodreads.com/review/widgets. Copy it.
Next you will go to the blogger and select the lay-out tab. Select Add A Page Element, select HTML/Code and paste the code from Good Reads and then save it. You will then need to save that on your Blogger Lay-Out too. That should work. I hope.
It worked, it worked! Now I have my photos, my music, and my books on my blog. I love these new toys. How in the world did we amuse ourselves before we had computers?!
Hurrah!
Good question.
