God of grace and beauty,
God of the crooked shore:
we give you thanks for those
who reveal your grace with
a wisdom they wear so lightly,
in a strength they only use
to lift other people up.
The generosity that some show
in conversation, and in lessons
they impart through open silence,
provides a glimpse of
divine light to be found
in stories yet to be told,
in questions we still want to ask.
Amen.
