Check-in
- Eric … I took another step on my video, recording it while walking in the forest with my dogs
- Ben … I had a weirdly wonderful day yesterday (not all of it was wonderful, but the date with my non-girlfriend was wonderful) ... And right now I am exhausted from my 10 minute rowing machine exercise.
Opening Blessing
We live in a world that inspires us to both great praise at its wonder and great grief at the pain that suffuses it. May we find the best lives we can live in this duality of beauty and suffering. May we Bring Life. --Blessed Be

Closing Blessing
We came together in part to praise the wonder of this beautiful world. Through our work on documents that awaken within ourselves and others awe for the beauty of the world, we are doing that work. May we Bring Life. -- Blessed Be
