Theme “Peace”
Words to lead into a time of silence
We live wondrous lives together, here on this little green and blue planet, with the awe and beauty of the universe above and below us, the miracle of life around us, and the magic of human consciousness within us.
Let us now quiet our consciousness and become aware of the stillness within…
Words before silence
We pause again in shared silence, that instead of speaking words from our mouths, we may speak love from our hearts.
… We share in that good silence which requires no words.
… We pause now in that shared good silence which requires no words.
… We pause now in that shared good silence which needs no words.

Inner peace
Let us be quiet in our hearts as is…
The still cormorant watching from the sunlit rock,
The tranquil sea fret stealing over the water,
The gentle wave caressing the shingle,
The sea campion motionless in her gown of white.
For these are the mute harbingers of a loving God…
And the promise of
O genderless engenderer
Flame of life at the heart of all things.
Holy, holy, holy are your names.
Your republic of informed hearts is always within us and around us.
Your mysterious way unfolds before us,
as matter and spirit dance together to create life.
May the finite tell its stories to the infinite,
and may the infinite nourish
Peace
