Appreciation

Universal energy
We gather together
So that we become of greater service to the whole
And, therefore, to each other
We offer ourselves to the whole as instruments
We open ourselves to the creativity in our lives
We surrender our old ideas
We welcome new and more expansive ideas
We trust the universal energy will lead us
We know that we have been created and that
creativity is the nature of universal energy
And our own nature
We ask for our lives to unfold
according to the whole plan
It's not too late
We are not too small or too flawed to be healed
By the universal energy and through each other
and made whole
We love one another
Nurturing each others' unfolding
Encouraging each others' growth
And understanding each others' fears
We are not alone
We are loved and lovable
We create as an act of gratitude to
the universal energy.
