“For those who came before us, we offer gratitude and thanks.
May their memories be a blessing.
May we feel surrounded by their love.
As we go forth from this time and place,
let us be inspired by their courage, their wisdom, and their dreams.
Let us honor them by doing the work
of living boldly, loving mightily,
and creating heaven on earth.
Amen and blessed be.” -Leia Durland-Jones

This has nothing to with Shinto believers. It’s our monthly theme!
