Voice of the day
God is Change— / Seed to tree, / tree to forest; / Rain to river, / river to sea; / Grubs to bees, / bees to swarm. / From one, many; / from many, one; / Forever uniting, growing, dissolving— / forever Changing. / The universe / is God’s self-portrait.

God of change, may we follow your patterns of reshaping, and refining to make this evolving earth whole.
