This world is too beautiful

• The strength of the earth

This world is too beautiful to be praised by only one voice.
May you have the courage to sing your part.
This world is too broken to be healed by only one set of hands.
May you have the courage to use your gifts.
This world - with all its beauty and brokenness - is the only world we have
May we go forth this day to embrace it with hope and faith,
strength and compassion, courage and joy.
