To be inclusive is

to recognize the oneness in life

unity of God

commonality of humanity

each unique

each an expression of the One

To love and embrace people

whose behaviors and attitudes I hate

to welcome the darkness

within me

To accept that sometimes you are right,

or 2/3's right

And I am wrong or mostly wrong

To respect your right and

own my wrong

and sometimes

the opposite is true

Always you and I are

fully human and

unique expressions

of God

My power

doesn't make me right and

your weakness

doesn't make you wrong

Inclusion is justice

with human faces and

hues of skin and

other cultures

and languages

Inclusion is faith

at the core of each of us

lives God

May the Word live in you in day! Thanks for continuing to bless me as we journey together.
