Listen
The ringing of the bell calls us to worship.
The sounding of the cork calls us to celebration.
What is the sound that calls us to hear one another?
Listen….listen carefully.
It is here, in the silence…Listen deeply.
The beating of our hearts calls us to ourselves,
Calls us to be our true selves,
Calls us to be our best selves,
Calls us to be what we might become.
Listen, there is another sound…
The breath of our neighbor calls us outside ourselves,
Calls us to be companions,
Calls us to be allies,
Calls us to be partners.
Listen…we must heed the call of our hearts, where love and truth, caring and justice are born.
Listen…we must heed the call of others, to gather together for some great
purpose, where passion and fidelity, compassion and equity are nourished.
The hammering silence calls us together
That we may do the work we cannot do alone.
Let us heed the calls that come in the silence,
That we may be well, and do good, in the world…together.
