On our farm in the winter, we put the cattle out on the mountains into the winterage. There the grass has been preserved all year. Even in the worst of weather, in frost and snow, the cattle still have fresh fodder. Because the landscape is bleak, there is little shelter. Every so often out there, one notices semicircular walls. The cattle know them well. These are the "sheltering walls" when winds and storms blow up. Similarly, when you invoke a blessing, you are creating a "sheltering wall" of rest and peace around a person.
Bless me, for I am weary, and long for a sheltering wall.
