“For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away…” – Matthew 5:18

Creating God of all things perishing
and of all transient time,
so many wish to hold on to forever
as they hold on to their ways and means
believing what they have is all that is,
we seek to know better and to be lighter,
freed from the weight of stuff 
and loosened from the ticking of time
to pass away as the earth ceases to turn
and heaven fades into the heavens.
Amen.
