This day belongs to each of us, to do with it as we must and as we may.  Would that we could make the most of every moment, but we can’t, and we won’t.  Rather than mourn the lost moments, let us celebrate those lived out with intention.  Let us rejoice the moments spent in love.  Let us own the moments filled with shame.  Let us heal in the moments that follow suffering.  Let us give comfort in the moment of need.  No moment is wasted, for each moment is Us.  As we are sacred, so too is each moment, and that knowledge is enough.  For each and every moment we give thanks.  Blessed Be, and Amen.
