We call to one another
Into the quiet
Into the burgeoning clamor of the day
We call
To one another
To come together
Prayerfully.
We listen
We hear
We declare
That there is Oneness in God
And majesty
And glory
When we call
When we hear
When we love.
And we must love
Because we are bound–
To God
To one another
By loose threads and ancient words
By truth
And faith
And freedom
By love.
Bound by love for
Beloved of
In an endless spiral,
A double helix
That ends (begins) on the shores of a distant Sea
