"We would gather together the scattered petals of thought
created by the consciousness of all who are here, bringing
them together in one beautiful blossom that they may be
joined into the stem of our teaching, thus creating a lovely
flower enfolded in the soft green leaves of sympathy that
wing from the hearts and thoughts of those present. As we
create this beautiful blossom, like a lovely chrysanthemum
glowing with the purity of light and tinged with the gentle
pink of love, we would uplift it, O thou Great Creator, that
this bloom may be taken unto the altars of prayer in the
temple of light, there to lie for a time gleaming and
glistening with the blessing which comes from Thee."
