Come sing with me!
Let us sound the holy mysteries of life and love and laughter.
Music, as a language transcending time and space,
…is a place to begin—to be as one body,
…offering wholeness, presence, and power.
Come laugh with me!
Let us celebrate the absurdities of life with open hearts.
Welcome to the paradox of welcoming all that is, as it is—
…including our own relatable reluctances
…to welcome that which knows not how to welcome us.
Come love with me!
Let us slowly, softly surrender our loneliness into God’s care.
We know what matters to us, in our own hearts,
…and what joy and relief to discover how we matter to each other,
…and that any kindness we could force was never kindness in the first place.
Come learn with me!
Let us take many tries, make our own best mistakes, and shed the shoulds that shame us.
Our desire to be more capable is motivation enough,
…and we can tell what’s working—or we can tell that we can’t tell,
…so we can come to trust our inner learner and inner teacher.
Come repent with me!
Let us be willing to see where the costs of our mistakes are borne (willingly or not).
As that pure unpretentious pain passes through us,
…we take in what we need to know for next time,
…while remaining ever free to flow.
Come forgive with me!
Let us taste God’s grace, as we embody it for each other and the world.
I am what I am, you are what you are—
…there is no escaping that, only false pretense,
…and reality is relentlessly ready to rediscover what’s possible.
Come pray with me!
Let us long for what our hearts desire—small and large and immeasurable.
We are made whole by gratitude and letting God handle things,
…knowing that we are not the source of all the goodness we’ve received,
…and knowing that our will ripples outward, far beyond our grasp.
Come question with me!
Let us not be fooled into thinking we have it all figured out.
This sacred soul—mine, yours, and everything’s—is inexhaustible,
…each answer, each solution, births new questions and new problems,
…we are not here to know or do “right” but to participate in the unfolding of it all.
Come know with me!
Let us dedicate ourselves to directly discerning and to the dance of dialogue.
With words of wisdom as a trailhead,
…we can walk the path together to our own sense of what is so,
…and widen the path as we go, making new living signs.
Come sing with me!
Let us sound the holy mysteries of life and love and laughter.
Music, as a language transcending time and space,
…is a place to end—when words once again fail us,
…we can always still speak to the stars together.
