to not be alone

and she took the cup, and gave thanks, saying
god help us to change. to change ourselves and to change our world. to know the need for it. to deal with the pain of it. to feel the joy of it. to undertake the journey without understanding the destination. the art of gentle revolution. amen.
we look to art as the glue, the filler, the go-between, that fluid substance, of transition, of change, of transformation. the art of life-- the lighting, the staging, the set, the roles, the costumes, the lines-- in other words, "the real ceremony begins where the formal one ends."

and so you know your struggle is not unknown, will not go unacknowledged, we drink to you tonight.
god give us strength. strength to hold on, and strength to let go.
amen.
