Reflection
The walk began in the dusk,
A pinky purple fringe still lit the horizon.
A small bat blazed the trail ahead,
As we wound our way along a track.
Littered with twigs and stones,
The uneven ground kept us guessing.
A stream, a wooden bridge, a path uphill;
The station nestles beside the line.
Later the stars said it all:
You are wonderfully made,
An integral part of this enormous universe.
Remembered Bible
Look at the stars:
Can you count them?
Lift your eyes to the skies.
Look at the skyline,
The purple headed mountains:
Lift your eyes to the hills.
Be still and know God.
We give thanks
For the pattern of our days;
For the relationships that mend and sustain us;
For our memories of those who have died;
For the hope that is in us.
Holy One, hear us.
Nunc Dimitiss
Now let your servant go in peace
According to your Word,
For I have seen the lifeline you have prepared for me and for all people,
To be a light to outsiders and a challenge to insiders.
And a glory to you forever Creator, Companion and Spirit,
As the universe spins on and on.
Amen, Amen, Amen.
