Opening Words: Call from Beyond

Susan Maginn
From beyond the playful summer clouds,
beyond the earth's thin blue line,
from beyond the bright moon and meteor showers,
we hear the call to look and listen carefully,
to turn away from a world that buys and sells happiness,
to fully experience the luring whisper of your heart's truth.
Why not today, why not now?

We are here and together at home in this evolving place,
home in this ever changing breath and body,
home in this dewy morning even as it reaches toward a hot high noon.

We hear the call from far beyond and deep within and we do not hear it alone.

Come, let us worship together.
