We join with the Earth
and with each other,
with our ancestors
and all beings of the future
to bring new life to the land,
to recreate the human community,
to provide justice and peace,
to remember our children,
to remember who we are.
We join together as many
and diverse expressions
of one Loving Mystery,
for the healing of the Earth 
and the renewal of all Life.

Enter in to the mysterious…
