To take this off my shoulders
Someone take me home

Because behind appearances
Beyond this world in which we live
There we will find beauty
Because behind the distances
Beyond the different lives we lead
There is our destiny

May it be when darkness falls your heart will be true.
You walk a lonely road. Oh how far you are from home.”

[Chorus]
Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the sea

-Billy Boyd, The Last Goodbye

“May you sail fair to the far fields of fortune
with diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
and may you need never to banish misfortune
may you find kindness in all that you meet…”
-Secret Garden, “Sleepsong” from Earth Songs

I hope we have a restful weekend filled with love.

“We respect and love all religions. We never put down anyone’s religion, or uphold one religion to the exclusion of others. What we want is to believe and respect interfaith religion, inclusive of all faith traditions. In our community spiritual practices, we invoke our prayers to the Divine, rather than invoking any particular name or form of God to the exclusion of others.”

-Sister Lucy Kurien, Maher
