What a joy it is to begin our morning with prayer,
To just move into that space of stillness,
The gap between words,
Absolutely knowing that there is a power and a presence that animates all that we see and all that we are.
And as I watched that beautiful sunrise,
The pink sky,
Glorious mountains,
I marveled at the hand of God,
And a world so marvelously made,
To know that each and every one of us is a part of that creation.
And not only a part of that creation,
But an expression of that divine creation.
There is a spark within us that is God expressing.
And so I just give thanks this morning for this community of beautiful souls connected in love,
Compassion,
And kindness to each other and to all of humanity,
Affirming that there is indeed a force for good that will always triumph.
And just as we have gathered here,
So have millions of people on this planet gathered in a myriad of ways to honor the divine,
And we respect and honor those paths to God.
I know that it opens our hearts,
Expands our minds,
Enlarges our perspective,
The mystery,
The magic,
And the miracles all around us all the time.
And so it's with a heart full of thanksgiving that I just release these words and this truth into that beautiful alchemy of love and law,
Knowing that all is well,
Because all is God,
And so it is.
Amen.
