Spirit of Life who formed us,
Be with us now.
Come, breathe with us.
Center us in stillness.
Make us motionless in that deep space
where soul gives guidance to spirit.
Warm us.
Quiet us.
Reknit us into our intimate weaving
with you and with one another.
Spirit of Love,
Be here in our sadness as you are in our joy.
Help us to move beyond the shadowy places,
into the light of possibilities
which you carved upon our souls
when we were but dreams in your being.
You are the ancient heart of our becoming alive.
You are the substance which binds us to one another
through our laughter and our tears.
Be here now, in and among us, as we remember…
(Prayer by Robin Izer)

But the memories of our younger days call forth that time when we were coming of age together, and awkwardly figuring out how we would construct our relationships with one another.
And this morning, like last night in the field house and under a leaky tent by the stadium, it is a pleasure and a joy to gaze at the wizened middle-aged ones we have become in our somewhat less agile bodies that we now inhabit…, a joy to see us gathered once again, embodying the reality of this earthly existence in which our aging is part of the great mystery of the passing of time.
