Interfaith
I claim not to be an expert
in world religion
I claim not to save the world
I hold the space
For the cross-fertilization
Of spirituality
Embodying the diversity
Of the Creator
The Divine experiencing
The many faces of itself
A patchwork quilt
Of commonality
And differences
Woven on the thread of
Our own Divine nature
Of being
Connecting to the Source
The empty space
The mandala
The container
To come home
To the energy of all
Our mission
Our journey
Weaving the different colors
As we hold the loom
Acknowledging it all
Staying present with it all
And with nothing at all
Knowing
We are nothing
At all
But ONE
Rev. Linda Cherry, 2005
