Time is often marked in passages: a graduation, an anniversary, a marriage, a death.  Life can be seen as a transitional event, always on our way from there to here.  These liminal moments are unsettling, as we stand on the threshold we are neither in nor out.  We are outside of time and space.  We create ritual in order to navigate safely from being that to becoming this.  Life is a meta-ritual, a constant invention and reinvention.  Prayer is the subtext of this ritual living.  May it bring us the peace and guidance we seek, calming and soothing us as we transition again and again and again.  May we live in Grace and Gratitude.  Blessed Be, and Amen.
