Sometimes even the briefest of statements can lift our hearts and strengthen our resolve. These closing words by Rev. Susan L. Van Dreser, recently retired from the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg, Canada, do just that.

Let us sing the magic of imagination

by Rev. Susan L. Van Dreser

Let us sing the magic of imagination by which we know one another and learn the lives of eras gone by.

Let us sing the magic of creation by which we build the world of our soul and teach its wisdom to others, young and old.

Let us sing the magic of our lives together, holding and shaping by the movement of breath from heart to lung all new life that is to come.

Go now with singing. Go now with magic in your fingertips. Touch this world with life.
