Look around this room

these are your people.

These are your people,

in a long hard work of 

confronting systemic evils, and

creating more just equitable world community. 

These are your partners,

in the walk with mother earth.

in the work of sustaining creator.

Go in peace, take with you wisdom;

   wisdom to see clearly.

Go in peace, take with you strength; 

   strength to demand justice.

Go in peace, take with you courage; 

   courage to climb that mountaintop.

Go in peace, Take with you 

  love that is fierce and bold and revolutionary. 

May you know your journey, your life and this call to turn this world around is both sacred and blessed.

So maybe if be, Amen.
