Bless our inventive ancestors,
Who gave us
The Daddy God of the Torah and
The Lawyer God of the Talmud,
The Dreaming God of immigrants and
The Pediatric God of children,
The Unlimited God of the mystics and
The Unmoving God of the philosophers,
The Many Gendered God of community and
The Personal God who is each of ours, alone,
The non-existent god of our skepticism and
The Holy Whole-ness of our adult searching.
The Loving God of our births and
The Redemptive God of our deaths,
With our imaginations and creations,
With our memories and traumas,
With awe and concern for those who came before
And with fear and love for all who will come after,
We stand within the One-ness.
Blessed Was•Is•Will Be,
Our shield
Our doubt
Our history.
To this God we pray.
Amen
