Creation understands interdependence

Embraces it, models it

Reveals to us that in our connection we have our very being

Creation is calling us back to life

To accountability

To communion

To joy

To healing

To freedom

I pray we humans get it …

The Creator is conspiring on our behalf

Revealing a living hope

Filling us with boldness

Showering us with love

Grounding us in justice

I pray we humans respond …

soon.

Our children and their children and generations to come are relying on us.

Let it be so, God.

Amen and ashé
