Beautiful Creator,
we give thanks for summer glimpses of the Spirit-
in sunrises and sunsets,
rivers and oceans,
hills and mountains,
tiny insects and large beasts,
silence and thunder,
moments and days.

You remind us each time in this season that you are all round us, calling to one another.

Help us to put words to your depth,
invitation to your blessing,
love overflowing  .

May we persist in resisting the ugly,
because we insist on magnifying your beauty. Amen.
