One Voice
The Universe speaks in many languages, but in only one voice.
The language is not English, or French or Chinese or African.
It speaks the language of hope.
It speaks in the language of trust, the language of strength and the language of compassion.
It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul.
But always it is the same voice…
The voice of our ancestors speaking through us.
The voice of our inheritors waiting to be born.
It is the small, still voice that says we are One.
No matter the blood, no matter the skin, no matter the country.
We are One.
No matter the pain, no matter the darkness, no matter the loss, no matter the fear.
We are One.
Here, gathered together in common cause,
We agree to recognize this singular truth and this singular rule…
That we must be kind to one and other…
Because each voice enriches us and ennobles us
And each voice lost diminishes us.
We are the voice of the Universe.
The soul of Creation,
The fire that will light the day to a better future.
We are One.
~ Rev. Naomi Shifra
