Opening words

We gather here as companions.We are here to find pleasure in each other's company. We are a rich collection of men and women.We are no longer isolated. No longer points in the darkness pointing nowhere. We are links in a magnificent chain of impossible flowers girdling the world. Speaking and listening together can summon us to more life.
