The Unbroken Chain

A small bird, with a mostly-yellow chest and blue, white, and black head, clings to a rusty vertical chain with links about one-fifth the size of the bird.

As we extinguish our chalice, 
may we remember that we are links in an unbroken chain of fighters. 
May this flame live on within us, 
just as the memory of our LGBTQ+ ancestors does, 
inspiring us to carry on the torch of justice. 
May it be so.

Note: These chalice extinguishing words pair well with the chalice lighting “To Fight for an Equitable World.”
