Benediction on 'Unity with the Earth' by American UU David Eaton.

"All living substance, all substance of energy, being and purpose, are united and share the same destiny.   All people, those we love and those we know not of, are united and share the same destiny.   Birth to death, we share this unity with the sun, earth, our sisters and brothers, strangers, flowers of the field, snow flakes, volcanoes and moonbeams.   Birth - life - death - unknown - known - unknown. Our destiny: from unknown to unknown.
