Be Joy!!!

Saint Augustine once said, "Men go abroad to wonder

at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the

sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast

compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the

stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering."

Tonight we acknowledge the wonder of our physical

incarnation - that we are here, in these particular

bodies, at this particular time, in these particular

circumstances.  May we never take for granted the gift

of our individuality.

Dear Mother,

Hear and bless

Thy beasts

And singing birds;

And guard with tenderness

Small things

That have no words.

-adapted from a traditional Christian Prayer

Breathing in, I know I am

breathing in.

Breathing out, I now I am

breathing out.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Be Here Now ... all IS well!!!!!

Love,

Cate
