Warmth and invitation here

[“sacred ground” to front; “blossoms” left then right]

In our quiet wounds;

[“fences” step back R then L; “feelings/turbulence/moving through”]

Buena Vista reaches out,

[“home base, forward, then reaching outward/upward”]

Always making room.

[“learn and share” step back R and L;  “we were raised here/this place raised us”]


“Issei women, kind to me”

[“wings, ground, circular stairway”]

Buddhists, Christians, we are free

[“Buddhist neighbors, Christian neighbors” step back R and L; “forward and 

out/our ministry faces out”]

Kimochi-ii meets Spirit here

[“Kimochi-ii” stand still; “rainbow” rock from left to right]

Where God’s love is Home.

[“building; safe”]


No-gi-ku-kai blossoms here

[“sacred ground” to front; “blossoms” left then right]

When we learn and share;

[“fences” step back R then L; “feelings/turbulence/moving through”]

Extend connections everywhere,

[“home base, forward, then reaching outward/upward”]

Lifelines formed with prayers.

[“learn and share” step back R and L;  “we were raised here/this place raised us”]


Children playing without fear,

[“wings, ground, circular stairway”]

Youth and elders, straight and queer;

[“Buddhist neighbors, Christian neighbors” step back R and L; “forward and 

out/our ministry faces out”]

Kimochi-ii meets Spirit here

[“Kimochi-ii” stand still; “rainbow” rock from left to right]
