I read this when it posted and thought- yeah, cool. right on. But over the last few days I keep coming back to it. I sat at a meeting last night in a room full of brilliant people and it never got officially started and nothing focused for 45 minutes and then when it was time to stop we hadn't gotten through all of our work. All I could think-damn we didn't have an invocation.

Everywhere I go today, I find gems of wisdom that perfectly fit the empty spaces in my brain. Thank you for the reminder of the importance of intention, not just at the beginning of the story, but with each step, through to the end. And I love your invocation - very inspiring!

I appreciate the validation of this idea. I use intention statements with our volunteer staff during our "Lovefest" before every event that we produce. Not everyone is into it, but I think it makes a significant impact on the energy we carry into the community.
