The image you have shaped within us,
mysteriously,
incredibly,
a reflection of your own Being,
Is best seen in the multiple refractions,
of our variegated humanity;
in the prismatic kaleidoscopes,
of our shared life,
our interconnectedness,
our being with each other.
We seek you, God, we long for you
and, thankfully, you are not far off
not hidden;
We need only remember
that you are most easily found
when we find you together,
and when we are humble enough to look
even in the faces we find most strange and unfamiliar.
