As we move into this new year and this new decade, my prayer for all of us is this:
-May we be open to the mystery & the wonder & the awe that surrounds us;
-And may we be attentive to the need & the pain & the hurt of people throughout our state.
-May we take time to listen to deep calling in our own lives, of the yearning of our own spirits for grounding & meaning & hope;
-And may we be guided by compassion to bring about practical and significant actions that will have positive impacts on this state and all the people we work for.
-May we seek the good & the right;
-And may we be open to God`s Spirit calling us to life.
-AMEN.
