"We are ever bound in community:
We build on foundations, we did not lay.
We warm ourselves at fires, we did not light.
We sit in the shade of trees, we did not plant.
We drink from wells, we did not dig.
We profit from persons, we did not know.
We light this chalice in thanksgiving
For those who have passed their light to us." - Adapted from Deuteronomy 6:10–1.

Looks like tomorrow is coming on fast

Seen better times, but who has not?" - from Bob Dylan's "Silvio"
