Name above all names -
You are active in our creation. You see the aspects that are not good and bring into our lives helpers and partners that make our life journeys good.
Out of the ground - out of the dust - You form every animal and every bird. You bring these creatures before us for naming - for the joy of identifying and delighting in Your creations.
Out of our ribs - out of our holders of breath - You bring people to us. You bring people before us, so we may respond, “Bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.”
May we honor our unity with all creation - and cling to helpers and partners who make our flesh one.
Amen.
