Divide your means seven ways, or even eight, for you do not know what disaster may happen on earth. – Ecclesiastes 11:2

God,
who divides Creation into infinite complexity,
we have put all our eggs into the baskets of
stubbornness, selfishness, hatred,
arrogance, delusion, greed
and violence.
Weave us another basket,
a basket full of anointing oil
so we can once again cry out,
"For unto all a child is born!"
Amen.
