Love Remains the Center (Extinguishing)

A lily blossom, with pale violet leaves and yellow stamens, floats in a pond. Our view is from directly above, and in the water around the blossom we see the reflection of the concentric circles of the frames supporting the glass roof of a greenhouse.

We extinguish this flame to remind us:
love is the center.

As we explore and rest, engage and heal:
love remains the center.

When all we can see is cold ashes:
love remains.

Note: This chalice extinguishing can be paired with the corresponding chalice lighting.
