Rosemary's Blessing:   

We end this meal with grace

For the joy and nourishment of food,

The slowed time away from the world

To come into presence with each other

We pray the wise spirit who keeps us

To change the structures that make others hunger

And that after such grace we might go forth

And impart dignity wherever we partake.

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

 

But after everything, and even when the skies turn scarlet and threatening, I still believe that if we are lucky enough to be alive, we must give thanks for the miracle of every moment of every day, no matter how flawed.  And we must have faith in God, and in the Universe, and in a better tomorrow even if that faith is not always deserved.

Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan
