Dedication Prayer At Sunset 1 November 2001 May all who arrive at the Blue Door find comfort for their journey and courage for their growth. May this home be a holy site, – a place of prayer and meditation, – a place of solace and challenge, – a place of harmony for women and men, for light and dark races, for heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people. Bless our struggle for this harmony, and through it, may Wisdom and Compassion increase. And Bless Alexander, may he be held by Grace and share with generosity and humility. We pray in the name – of La Conquistodora (patroness of Santa Fe and an image of Love that conquers all divisions), – in the name of The Christ, – and in the memory of our ancestors, and all women and men of deep faith. May our prayer this sunset be so!
