The Richness of Our Differences

40 or 50 varied and colorful lamps hanging in a display at lamp market. In the background, dimly lit, is a person working with other lamps.

We seek our place in the world
and the answers to our hearts’ deep questions.
As we seek, may our hearts be open to unexpected answers.
May we be reminded that all beings are whole, sacred and worthy.
Let our hearts be welcoming of multiple truths, 
not holding hard or fast to closed mindedness or judgmental thinking.
What can we learn from each other in the richness of our differences?
May the heart of compassion help us recognize the sacred in each other and bridge differences in these challenging times.
May each of us be held in relationship, accountability and the power of beloved community. Blessed Be.
