Taking time to consider how we are both different from one another and the same is an important part of our being in community. Written as a prayer for the non-exclusive spiritual community, West Hill. www.westhill.net

1. At the very core of our being
we know and experience the need to
relate
to one another.

2. Our souls long for communion,
for fellowship,

3. and we gather
in this place
to seek it out.

4. Let us open ourselves
to the possibilities
to which our souls call us.

5. May we see each other as unique
and yet one.

6. May we see the differences between us
and all that we share in common.

7. May we hallow what we find
as we look
into the eyes
of those
with whom
we share
this fellowship.

8. Let us open ourselves to the possibilities
to which our souls call us.

9. As light into light,
we pour ourselves.
