One Love

       By the Rev. Dr. Hope Johnson
We are one,
A diverse group
Of proudly kindred spirits
Here not by coincidence--
But because we choose to journey—together.

We are active and proactive
We care deeply
We live our love, as best we can.

We ARE one
Working, Eating, Laughing,
Playing, Singing, Storytelling, Sharing and Rejoicing.
Getting to know each other,
Taking risks
Opening up.
Questioning, Seeking, Searching…
Trying to understand…
Struggling…
Making Mistakes
Paying Attention…
Asking Questions
Listening…
Living our Answers
Learning to love our neighbors
Learning to love ourselves.

Apologizing and forgiving with humility
Being forgiven, through Grace.
​
Creating the Beloved Community—Together
We are ONE.
