The ever-unfolding now, just as it is, without filters or judgments.
We pause to ground ourselves in the wisdom of sages and teachers,
Whose lives and stories continue to inform and inspire us.
We pause to ground ourselves in the wisdom of our senses,
The sights, sounds, smells, tastes and textures that surround us.
We pause to ground ourselves in the wisdom of our communities,
Which remind us that nothing ever need be held completely alone.
We ground ourselves in the wisdom of the prophets,
Whose voices remind us of the good work always before us.
We pause now for a moment of silence
To ground ourselves in all these sources of wisdom.
May we remember the wisdom of the ages.
May we open ourselves to the wisdom of our senses.
May we find comfort in the wisdom of our communities.
May we heed the wisdom of the prophets’ urgency.
And may return to the wisdom of this moment again and again.
Amen!
