The only possible true religion
(if there could be such a thing),
would be a whole new way of seeing,
which our divine Source,
in and through us,
would weave in tandem.
And through the lens of that re-perceiving,
—and re-partnering—
could come a re-membering
—of our birthright member-ship—
in our most real and actual family:
the Love-made human race.
Hand in hand, we could study and learn
from the paradigms and parties,
philosophies and faiths,
wisdom streams and ideologies
that have already come to birth
and made their opening statements,
bearing their initial hints.
And we could study, and learn to say ‘Yes’
to the best in each,
and ‘No’to the worst in all,
while staying free of fully embracing
—or rejecting—
any pre-assembled supposed certainties
concerning which is which
or what is Truth.
And all the while, might we not
—the more and more of us—
soften and open,
while joining our hearts,
in an eye-wide, honest and mutual search
for discernment; not about which faith is best,
but about which of our human ways
are helpful or hurtful,
and about where and how
the damages of our doings
arise and slay;
or about how and where
the services of our hearts
can sow and heal?
And might we not thus courageously commit
to how trust and linking can be furthered in this world,
and suffering and fear be assuaged,
regardless of this or that group
to which we—or they—may belong?
Is not this the real sacred altar
where best we can kneel and bow?
The one inscribed with:
All.
Together.
Now.
