Chalice Lighting  -  Michael DeVernon Boblett
also appropriate as a Litany

(May be read responsively)

We are not alone. We are this flame, ancient as the stars, new as the vulnerable spark.

     We are not alone.

We are this chalice, rimmed by the spiral dance of searching.

     We are not alone.

We are the light soaring, the shadow deepening, the dance between them.

     We are not alone.

We are the heirs of the tribes and their fires, the healers and their circles.

     We are not alone.

We are here. We are here for ourselves. We are here for each other. And...

     We are not alone.
