Ingathering: Opening Words

Here we have gathered,
Here at this seasonal crossroads, with the cool summer breeze at our backs.

Here we have gathered,
We of different bodies and beliefs, each prone to weakness and open to growth.

Here we have gathered,
Having journeyed from distant shores, each thirsting for love and justice.

Here we have gathered,
Gathered in memory and in hope, woven all into the sacred dance of life.

Here we have gathered.
So let us rejoice and join together in song.
