Many of us carry a burden of worry.

Anxiety over the state of the world;
Worries about money
About our environment,
Our families
About peace and justice.

May we trust that nothing will get worse for us putting that burden down for a moment.
May we let go of what weighs us down.
May we find that we can set down worry for longer and longer periods of time.

In our experience of letting go, may we be open to the possibility that we need not pick our worries back up.
May we find passion and strength to work for change where we have the power to do so, and to let go where we do not.

If not forever, let us put down any worries or anxiety, for our time of quiet.

May we be in quiet together.
