Under this tree of life, let me meet you tonight, Beloved, and find rest. As the wind soughs the world's laments, let all of us who are wandering and who are keeping watch this night, meet you under the tree of life and find peace. As the night wraps cold and close, may all in need of shelter and safety find a welcome and a refuge, and in that place, meet you under the tree of life and find they do indeed belong. As the stars shine through the vast distances of space, may all who are struggling to cross a vast distance in the work of reconciliation or reparation or reconnection after long estrangement, meet you under the tree of life and find new courage to carry on. Under the tree of life, let us meet you tonight, Beloved, and find rest, hope, welcome, and courage. Amen.
