let us be blessed

as we join our minds

as we read, learn, and view the past

remembering times of long ago.

let us be blessed

as we join our hands

as we learn the lines of each others faces

the troubles of one anothers hearts

living life together

and changing the world

side by side.

let us be blessed

as we break bread together

as we fill our stomachs and our hearts,

laughing, loving and learning with one another

sitting close enough to feel each others energy and pulse

close enough to hear the beating and the rhythm of our hearts

let us be blessed

as we bow our heads

as we choose to be silent,

if only briefly,

allowing ourselves to be vulnerable

and perhaps strangely warmed.

let us join

minds,

hands,

and hearts

as we travel down this road together.

let us laugh together

let us cry together

let us hope

and change

and dream

together.

ever growing

ever trying

ever loving.

in sickness and in health

in good times and bad

until,

if we choose it,

till death do we part-

and perhaps meeting in a place that we do not know yet.

amen.
