May it be resolved, That we will tell the stories of our people. That we will remember who we are That when we fail, we will be gentle with each other, That when we rise again, we will rise together. May it be resolved That I becomes we, that my becomes ours That we will cross the roaring seas between us To raise a cup of kindness, yet And remember the days of our beginnings, And our becomings, Where out of the brilliant light of stars, the dusty ground of earth, and the very image of God, We were made – and named – kindred.
-Rev. Luke Stevens-Royer, “To Thine Own Self, Be True”
