enriching the journey - v2


enriching the journey
other faiths, traditions
all of us on a path
each one seeking our God.

we deepen our understanding
exploring with others
seeing God more clearly
through another’s eyes.

joining together, sharing,
iron sharpening iron
challenging weak assumptions
growing in our faith.

we have a gift, precious,
communion with others
each on our own journey
the pathway of faith.

coming together from
different faith traditions
we can learn so much
if we will only listen.

learning more about prayer
about sacrifice, meaning,
so much the same
but we focus on the difference.
