We Lay Down Our Burdens![]()
Beloved companions,
We arrive in this place where all we have to do is breathe.![]()
We don’t have to impress or convince or win over.
We don’t have to know the words.
It’s okay we didn’t read the book,
Or pass that class
Or carry that title
Or meet that mark.
We don’t have to be anything but who we are.
Here we rest in essence together.![]()
And to move into this communal rest,
we lay down our burdens:![]()
Our longing, our craving, our unmet need.
Our error, our regret, our sudden disappointment.
Our anxiety, our shame, our sheer exhaustion.
Our bewilderment, our bafflement, our burgeoning terror.![]()
All of this—all of this we lay down together today.![]()
As we do this,
May we be filled instead with presence.
May we feel held in the comfort of our community.
May we discover new compassion for ourselves and others.
May we meet this moment with gentleness, ease,
and gratitude—![]()
for this air we breathe together
for these questions we ask together
for the justice we seek together
for the songs we sing together.![]()
Amen.![]()

Blessings Shall Follow Us![]()
As we end our time together today in spiritual community,
may we depart this sacred space:
Knowing that blessings shall follow us all the days of our lives
If we live in and return to right relationships,
If we extend grace and forgiveness to ourselves and others,
If we behold mercy as a spiritual superpower.
If we emanate the Greater Love that holds us close.
May our lives radiate the blessings that we have been given,
May kindness and compassion fall gently from us.
May there be peace in the world, and may it begin again with us.![]()

From the Sea of Stars![]()
Our ancestry arose in the ancient seas, first lifeforms drinking light.
Our family evolved: senses, roots, limbs, scales, minds.
We raced across the world in glorious green,
stretched aloft the canopy, spread wings to take the skies.
We made simple tools to shape the world,
befriended our enemy, fire,
and painted horses on the cave wall.
We sang, we loved, we gazed up at the mysterious stars.
We tried to understand what had created us, why we were here,
why we suffered and how to keep what was precious.
Once again we raced across the world,
changed colors, befriended the field and the wolf.
We built shelters which grew to palaces.
We fought and died
yet still we sang. Still we mapped the constellations.
Our ancestry arose in the ancient sea
of stars.![]()
