[Dialogue] Ritual Phrases

[Del Morril]

Thanks so much, David, for sharing a memory I had forgotten.  The ritual is
one I still use personally, in similar words, but had forgotten that it is
also a great one for that meal across from those closest to you.  Thanks for
reminding me of its value in building and maintaining important
relationships to one another, and to all those of the earth, seas and skies.

Del

The one I most remember from my first days at the West Side was someone's
response to "Christ is Risen,"  - Yeah, but he had 3 days!!

 

 

Burna and I still use a daily table ritual that we learned from Del and
Justin in the late '70s:

 

a: All moments, all events, are part of our sacred pathway.

b: Now is our point of power.

a: All is well.

b: All is well.

a: [Let us eat this meal on behalf of.]

 

 

There have been times when we glared at each other across the table, times
when we rolled our eyes at the juxtaposition of events and ritual, and
others when we laughed or shook our heads at some absurdity in the moment.

 

We have always been deeply grateful for the Word in the words that are
always a saving grace.

 

Del and Justin, words can not express my gratitude for this simple, life
giving ritual.
