Opening Words
Tim HaleyAlso appropriate as Meditations
Amid all the noise in our lives
Amid all the noise in our lives,
we take this moment to sit in silence --
to give thanks for another day;
to give thanks for all those in our lives
who have brought us warmth
and love;
to give thanks for the gift of life.
We know we are on our pilgrimage here but a brief moment in time.
Let us open ourselves, here, now,
to the process of becoming more whole
--
of living more fully;
of giving and forgiving more freely;
of understanding more completely
the meaning of our lives
here on this earth.
