May today unfold in mystery and wonder.  We never know what challenges will present themselves, or whether delight or devastation are on our path.  We do know that the way is shared, that others have gone before, and still more are following.  May we practice humility in whatever awaits.  May we be grounded in our common humanity.  May we find strength in each other.  We will find that allies are more abundant than foes, and for this we are thankful.  Blessed Be, and Amen.
