Opening Meditation – Emmy Lou Belcher
Let us take a moment to settle into the silence.
Hear and feel
your quiet breathing.
Hear and feel the quiet of this room
and this community of quiet people.
As we sit in the
quiet, feel the life that stretches between us,
that fills this room.
Feel the opening of all the windows of our beings,
and the full out-stretching of our spirits,
As we reach outward to the life around us,
beyond this room,
throughout all creation.
For this life --
for the freedom we have to shape and pursue our lives
--
we are grateful and rejoice.
Amen.
Close your eyes, relax & breathe. Let yourself be comfortable – relax your mind. What is your most vivid memory from childhood? What is your earliest memory? Do you ever think of it other than when someone asks you about your childhood? Why do you think we carry these memories? Do we have any choice?

Closing Words - From Rachel Carson:
If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder…he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, the excitement, the mystery of the world we live in.
