Responsive Reading, by Jill Ann Terwilliger
For the longing that told you it was time for a change,
We send you our love and encouragement.
For the courage it took to answer the call,
We send you our love and encouragement.
For the choices already made and the daily choices that will shape the life ahead,
We send you our love and encouragement.
For the communities that have shown you who you are and the new
communities waiting to discover you in your new ventures,
We send you our love and encouragement.
For the great mystery of what lies ahead,
We send you our love and encouragement.
May we all see something of beauty along the way, touch hands with those
we love, and give more than we get.
