Dear God
It is timely that we give thanks
for the lives of all prophets, teachers, healers,
and revolutionaries, living and dead,
acclaimed or obscure, who have rebelled,
worked and suffered for the cause of love
and joy.
We also celebrate that part of us, that part
within ourselves, which has rebelled, worked
and suffered for the cause of love and joy.
We give thanks and celebrate.
Amen
