Spirit of Life, known by many names yet by no name fully known, the representatives gather here today with hopes and dreams and also with fears and wounds. May we be reminded that all things come and go; that today's victories and today's losses will in time give way to those of tomorrow when roles may well be reversed. Help us to find the patience to accept our fears and wounds and the persistence to pursue our hopes and dreams. Spirit of Life, mother and father of us all, help us to remember those who came before us and to know that there will be others who follow us. May we always be open to growth and change, to movement, to grace. 2011-03-23 House Journal Page 0542 In the name of all that is holy, and in all holy names that have ever been uttered, let us say Blessed be, Shalom, and Amen.
