Daily Signet

May our sacred history be enlivening. 
May our margins be wide enough for illustrated lettering
and our words deep enough to cast shadows. 
Visit, O Holy Spirit this dedicated company: 
create worlds, virgin births, miracles within us. 
Stay with us through the night. 
Through the silence, 
quicken, rewrite, edit again the living word. 
Guide again the logos, 
the delicate dance of material and immaterial, 
of words that will make visible that which is invisible, 
of words that will speak the unspeakable. 
Inspire our hearts and minds with the breath that is eternal.
May all that is timeless be quickened within us.
