Let us begin this morning with a moment of silence paying attention to the breath that sustains us. Spirit of life and love, which moves through us and throughout the world. May each breath we take remind us of our shared humanity, remind us to see and respect the human being next to us and across from us, remind us to listen as we hope others will listen to us. May each breath we take open us to compassion and fairness, open us to caring for all the people in New Hampshire regardless of their circumstances and especially if they are on the margins and in need of support. May each breath we take bring us strength and inspiration to lead with honesty, patience, integrity, and passion, bring us a sense of perspective of our own limitations and shortcomings, bring us forgiveness for ourselves and others if we fall short of our aspirations.
