WELCOME PARTY

A blessing based upon Psalm 49

Listen to Divine wisdom

It is for all, the high and mighty

equally with the poorest and most humble

Sing the song of wisdom

its mysteries are deep

May you not fear whatever seems to envelope you

May you let go of those worries nipping at your heels

Forget trusting in things that are unreliable

like wealth

or power over others

or a feeling of invincibility

or popularity

or notoriety

or beauty

It’s all a wash, here one day, gone the next

Instead, may you place your trust in the things of the Divine

where you will find a welcome party
