A reflection on joy  
  To be joyous.
To be happy.
To celebrate life.
To laugh.
To joke.
To be in bliss.
This is what it means to be human.

No smear or claim against joy can stand.
Joy is the perfect expression of the will of UCA.
The celebration of life.
The celebration of perfect life.

To be joyous in respecting others.
To be joyous in being honest.
To be joyous in compassion to all living creatures.
To be joyous is to love life as awareness loves life.

 
  Call to the Earth  
  O Great Spirit of the North and South
Invisible Spirit of the Air,
And of the fresh, cool winds,
O vast and boundless Grandfather Sky,
Your living breath animates all life.
Yours is the power of clarity and strength,
Power to hear the inner sounds,
To sweep out the old patterns,
And to bring change and challenge,
The ecstasy of movement and the dance.
We call that we may be aligned with you,
So that your power may flow through us,
And be expressed by us,
For the good of this planet,
And all living beings upon it.

O Great Spirit of the West and East
Spirit of the Great Waters,
Of rain, rivers, lakes and springs.
O Grandmother Ocean
Deep matrix, womb of all life.
Power to dissolve boundaries,
To release holdings,
Power to taste and to feel,
To cleanse and to heal,
Great blissful darkness of peace.
We call that we may be aligned with you,
So that your powers may flow through us,
And be expressed by us,
For the good of this planet,
And all living beings upon it.
