You sing in my heart this morning. It starts as a low hum but swells and fills me, reaching to the very space between my cells, flooding my whole being with your presence, lifting my heart and releasing me to praise.

You look at your creation with love and see the bright hope that is seeded in its fibers. You call and watch the stirrings of the dawn; you see the pull of love and know it is stronger than the push of anger. The world will not end in fire or ice but in an embrace. You hold that faith in sight.

Give me your hope, your love, your strength, your vision to do what you set before me with energy and power, with openness and joy. Let the dance begin.

Amen.
