Invocation

Holy and steadfast God,

You stand beside me each step I take and yet I look past you, over you, and around you.  I act as if I am an island floating on the open sea.  In our time today, open me to seeing, noticing, and appreciating the many ways you seek to make yourself known and the many ways in which we are interconnected with our siblings and the earth itself.  Give me eyes to see and ears to hear your constant and consistent presence.  AMEN
