Creator of Diversity, Lover of Life that is Weird, Funky, Astounding, Surprising, Laughable, and Stunningly Wonderful, welcome us to our whole selves, the difficult and the delightful, the cherished and the disliked. Teach us to love ourselves and each other in our varied genders and expressing them, to love ourselves and each other in our multitude of cultures for thriving and joyful living, to love ourselves and each other in the vast varieties of reverence and perhaps, noticing all this variation, to cultivate a little humility that perhaps ours is not the only right way or even the best, just maybe the best or right for us. Help us grow more engaged in loving one another in our differences rather than insisting on a narrow range of being that purposely excludes and excoriates so many. Help us be humdrum and brilliant, flashy and quiet, in our own specific weirdness and create together a more just and equitable world, that invites greater care, greater celebration, greater reverence for the blessings each of us can be. Amen.
