It is a pleasure to stand here, giving praise to Deoch once again.
May you embrace that which makes you special, the gift of Deoch and the Inspiration that you have fostered within yourself.
I wanted to hold one last mass before the ending of yet another cycle, to celebrate our continued time within Temuair as a community of Aislings.
I want you to think about the time you have spent walking Temuair in this cycle. About the new faces you have encountered, about the friendships you have made. Those memories and those feelings that wouldn’t have otherwise been made. Know that you have been enriched and have enriched other’s lives in this community in an intangible way that only you could have done in your own unique way.
Remember, too, those that have came before. Those you did not see these past eight Deochs. Although they are not with us, let them occupy your minds during this time of remembrance. The memories you have made together and the feelings that you shared. Wither you know it or not, those moments from the past are important because they are a thread in the tapestry you have weaved during your time in Temuair. Vital is the past as it has helped up build the future that is today.
Go into the new cycle thinking about the future of Temuair. Think about what you can do to help regrow our community and think about what you can add to your own unique contribution to the legacy of Aisling kind that as had many thousands of contributions over the many cycles to date.
That is my simple message for the ending of this cycle. I look forward to being with you all in the next cycle; let us continue to shine the Spark in the cycle to come.
Let us be thankful for one another and for this gathering place. Let us look to Deoch, and one another, for guidance in the upcoming cycle.
