Travelers in Time[1]
Let us gather now,
friends of Spirit – travelers in time –
to hear the story
of Love’s evolving narrative.
In this sacred space,
we release into the present,
laying aside all worries, plans,
and complaints,
entering into the now
of Mystery’s eternal temple.
In this sacred space, we honour our past,
retelling the great story of deep time
as Spirit’s unfolding tale,
giving thanks that a whole universe
is gathered up in the likes of us –
tradition’s promise.
In this sacred space,
we consent to the allurement
of an unrehearsed future,
from where the living Word
woos each one of us toward
our unique expression –
that is Spirit’s dream. Amen.
