Tonight I probably won't sleep again

[Wicked Blue]

30. We begin again in love

“ A Litany of Atonement” by Rob Eller-Isaacs
UU Blue Hymnal, reading 637


For remaining silent when a single voice would have made a difference

We forgive ourselves and each other; we begin again in love.


For each time that our fears have made us rigid and inaccessible

We forgive ourselves and each other; we begin again in love.


For each time that we have struck out in anger without just cause

We forgive ourselves and each other; we begin again in love.


For each time that our greed has blinded us to the needs of others

We forgive ourselves and each other; we begin again in love.


For the selfishness which sets us apart and alone

We forgive ourselves and each other; we begin again in love.


For falling short of the admonitions of the spirit

We forgive ourselves and each other; we begin again in love.


For losing sight of our unity

We forgive ourselves and each other; we begin again in love.


For those, and for so many acts, both evident and subtle, which have fueled the illusion of separateness

We forgive ourselves and each other; we begin again in love.
