Form a circle.

 

With heads bowed,

feel that the first step

on the path is humbleness.

 

By holding two fists with thumbs on the bottom out in front

and opening them,

we embody letting go.

 

Turning our palms up and spreading our fingers in a gesture of openness,

we signal readiness to receive whatever is given.

 

Now, as both hands rest over our heart,

we pray together out loud,

“May the path lead us home.”

 

 Cielle Tewksbury (1938-2004) created this ritual.
