May today be the day where our great passions meet the world’s deepest need; where our longings are spurred to action; where our sorrows manifest as redemptive love; where our shame transforms our being into our nobility.  Like a butterfly emerging from the pupa, we are born and reborn each day.  May we spread our wings and delight in our own fancy, free to choose, free to grow, free to love.  We are grateful for transformation as we say Blessed Be, and Amen.
