Take this as an invitation
To imagine how wide this world can be
To face the closing doors before us
And move toward the opening windows in our lives.
Take this as an invitation
To remember a critical truth
That none of us have it all figured out
That we help one another grow and change.
Take this as an invitation
To cross thresholds of challenge
Not on our own
Not for ourselves alone
But side by side
Spirits rising and expanding together
Come in, as we share our gifts and truths with each other.

Little cousin, little flame
open this circle with us, welcome us in
let this circle we gather round be a place
for curiosity, openness, and challenge
all held in your glowing warmth.
Little flame, come be with us
as we light this chalice.

We gather round this little flame
As we and our ancestors have so many times before.
We gather for love, for care, for joy, for connection.
We bring all these needs and more
Into our circle
As we light this chalice.
