In this season of our lives, let us carve out our vision of where we are, of where we have been, and of where we aspire to go.  Let us gently mark this time and place, for others to follow.  Let us seek the signs of those who have gone before, gently guiding and encouraging us onward.  May we reflect in this moment, and envision the next.  As the seasons change, so do we, in an endless cycle of awakening, ever brighter, ever hopeful, ever grateful.  We are thankful for this time and place.  Blessed Be, and Amen.
