Let us pray.
Oh God, the creator of the entire universe and every creature in it:
Here at Ghost Ranch this week we have been dramatically reminded that you were here before we ever got here. The signs and scenes and shapes point and direct our very beings to your handiwork and to the reality that this creation has purpose and relates to your ultimate plan.
We are in awe of sunsets that can only be called sacred. Our eyes and selves are bowled over by the bright colors, shaded tones and their reflections - the brown, the tans, the yellows, the oranges, the reds - of the mesas and hills. The panoramic beauty from Chimney Rock almost leads us into lasting and eternal magnificence.
And yes, O God, there is the breath of fresh air!
We specially thank you this night and acknowledge our new friends at Pueblo San Ildefonso and Tewa Women United who were here long before any of us or our ancestors. We thank you for the blessing of being part of their community of caring and advocacy.
Oh God, what beauty and strength we have all shared!
Amen.
