Lighting the Chalice
Words by Dorothea Kaufmann
Liz Wiley
From the bottom of my very existence
I am pervaded with light energy,
shining colours to my eye,
warmth to my skin,
inspiration to my soul.
In this unity
of creative sparks
and sparkling creation
life unfolds.
Let us open our senses to the light within and around us
and send it out with shining examples
into the world!

Extinguishing the Chalice
Liz Wiley
We extinguish this flame,
but not the light of truth,
the warmth of community,
or the fire of commitment.
These we carry in our hearts
until we are together again.
