[Collage] Tribute to the son of Gorlacon

Summary:

A little tribute in loving memory of Gorlacon's Son - taken from the world so unfairly ❤️

Notes:

The Irish blessing in this tribute from John O’Donohue’s “Anam Cara: Spiritual Wisdom for the Celtic World” (1997, Bantam).

In commemoration of one of my favorite Period Pieces "Centurion" (2010).

Hope you like my little tribute to Gorlacon's son (his name was spoken twice in the film but doesn't appear in the script). I was heartbroken what happened to him in the movie 😭Damn you Thax!

The character belong to screenwriter Neil Marshall and the UK Film Council.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

I pray that you will have the blessing of being consoled and sure about your own death.

May you know in your soul that there is no need to be afraid.

When your time comes, may you be given every blessing and shelter that you need.

May there be a beautiful welcome for you in the home that you are going to.

You are not going somewhere strange.

You are going back to the home that you never left.

May you have a wonderful urgency to live your life to the full.

May you live compassionately and creatively and transfigure everything that is negative within you and about you.

When you come to die may it be after a long life.

May you be peaceful and happy and in the presence of those who really care for you.

May your going be sheltered and your welcome assured.

May your soul smile in the embrace of your anam cara (soul friend).

 

Son of Gorlacon
