Holy spirit of life and love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That moves through all things<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that connects us all with hope and power<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be with us this morning<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this room<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this community<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In our hearts<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wherever we are in the journey of our lives<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Encourage us to take one more step<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let us see the goal before us<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Near or far<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And do the next thing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let us celebrate the life that keeps unfolding<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leaf by leaf<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petal by petal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Day by day<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each day a new world<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each day an opportunity to learn more about ourselves<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the infinite variety of human lives<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the world we share<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May we be courageous to keep moving<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To keep fitting ourselves to the new reality<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To keep responding, growing, and developing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stretching closer and closer to that ideal we seek<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nearer and nearer to the person we were born to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And ever able to gracefully leave behind the perfection of this moment<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To embrace the new perfection of the next moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
