We shout with joy and celebrate the wonderful abundance of life. Yes, Giver, you know all that abundant busyness and all that abundant sorrow is part and parcel of this way. But also what amazing generosity there is, and what more there can be, when we open our hearts, when we take each other not as strangers but as kin, when we honor the astounding diversity of life upon this earth and marvel at the awe of the heavens. Receivers all, receivers of life and love and nourishment and yearning, of gifts and of hopes, of dreams and of learning, let us give thanks. Creators all, creators of merciful justice, generous compassion and gracious forgiveness, creators of loving ways and counteracting iniquity, let us give thanks for this choice to add to the cornucopia of goodness. Receivers and Creators, we are thankful, thankful for the graciousness of this present possibility, opening into the greater dance of love. Amen.
