A reminder for these troubled days...
Meeting otherness.
When you meet the other,
whoever they are,
stop.
Just stop.
Stop
long enough
to become
present
to their
being
as a door
to
Divine Presence.
When you meet the other,
whoever they are,
bow.
Just bow.
Bow
low enough
to reverence
their being
as a gift
held in existence
by
Divine Love.
When you meet the other,
whoever they are,
listen.
Just listen.
Listen
long enough
to hear
their truth
revealed
as a page
of the story
written by
the
Divine Word.
When you meet the other,
whoever they are,
stop.
Just stop.
Bow.
Just bow.
Listen.
Just listen.
And then,
only then,
in the
hallowed
space
between you
and the other,
whoever they are,
speak.
