The Legacies We Have Inherited

It is said that we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us; that our current advantages are built upon the discoveries, the trial and error, and collective efforts of past generations.

Some of these legacies have been a life-affirming blessing, some have been a tremendous burden.

This morning, let us have a look at what we have inherited that is of such value we are willing to make a vow to promote it for the next seven generations.

You are invited to bring a photo or an artifact of your beloved departed for the altar.

Bringing Our Faithful Hearts Together:

an interfaith service

Looking through the lens of Love

radiating from the very center of our spirituality, we find a world of religious traditions that have more in common than not. Our time together this morning will be to share that love in many ways and practices. Come with an open heart and receive!

Celebrations that honor life and death are,
quite simply, those points in our lives when we intentionally take time to acknowledge something we value.

Cultures and traditions all over the world observe and celebrate life's transitions in one way or another; it’s what we humans have done since the origins of our species, and it is what we do best!

What this Seed has called me to do is to be available for the occasions that benefit from having an officiant and to be a part of a co-creative process that brings forward all that wants, all that needs, all that must, be expressed, be they cultural traditions and rituals, cyclical, annual, or seasonal celebrations, rights of passage, honoring birth and death; all of the myriad ways that life beckons us to stop our usual routines and pay special attention.

What I have to offer in this Seed

is to hold a container

for what it is that needs

to be held within it.

Blessed be this holding!
