Opening Blessing
We are creatures of expectations. We can imagine many wonderful things to do, and in our minds they are often "as good as done." The reality of actually doing all those things rarely aligns with the rosy expectation. May we support each other to bring Life and continue the work, even through our upset. --Blessed Be

Closing Blessing
Religions are built on ideals. To survive in a messy world of imperfection and unmet expectations, they must compromise with that reality. May we practice the art of compromise. May we bring life. -- Blessed Be
