Holy and Gracious God:
Today we choose life —
the bloom of hope,
the breath of humility,
the proximity of tenderness.
Holy and Mysterious God:
Today we choose death —
the sunset of greed,
the erosion of pride,
the burial of violence.
Holy and Creative God:
Today we choose prosperity —
the harvest of peace,
the healing of all nature,
the sustainability of love.
Holy and Disruptive God:
Today we choose adversity —
the troubling of wealth,
the disordering of power,
the resistance of injustice.
We choose life,
O Eternal God,
and we choose death.
on Deuteronomy 30:15
