(end of Feb)
Everything in you that is beautiful, valuable, a gift, bring it to this community and offer it up, for this is how God will dwell within and amongst us.
Make space, face each other, face toward the center of the ring and look up, raise your voice in song, your actions, your deeds, infuse them with all that is beautiful and know that when we are overflowing AND when we are in dark times, the downswing of grief, depression, regret, shame, we can still face forward and make space for the in-dwelling of holiness.
We, together, as a people, as a community, must remember and search and see the gifts that dwell within all of us, and not place ourselves above or below each other, for our humanity, our piece of God, our sanctuary, cycles through us, individually and communally, we all lean forward to learn compassion and forgiveness, holiness and love, weakness and strength; we all face our own capacity for brokenness and beauty, for being less and more, for being down and out and then lifted up.
It cycles through us all and still, each day, each moment, still we must face the center and look up, look around, and bring our holy, beautiful, broken, strong, and healing lives forward; as individuals, as a community, as souls bringing their beauty and service forward, opening our hearts and our gifts, orienting all pieces of ourselves to the larger holiness we hold and share, the treasure of every single person offered to God.
