Let Us Hold Hands

Let's all hold hands. The people who love Jesus with the people who love Buddha. The people who follow Vishnu with the people who follow the Tao. Let Atheists hold hands with Hasidim. Let the followers of Allah fast at Ramadan while holding hands with Wiccans. Let's hold hands respecting each other's humanness. Yogis and Sufis and people who meet in Longhouses. Agnostics and Catholics and Mauris following their ancient ways. If we are holding hands, we do not have to agree at all. I love the Jesus lover's love of Jesus. Let him love. I love the Siva lover's love of Siva. Let him love. Let the minds in our circle disagree, who cares? But don't let go. "Oh, my beloved brother, your ways are wrong!" Think it! Who cares? But don't let go. Let's stop trying to change each other. And when the end comes, don't let go. Let us go holding hands. Loving each other, let us go. And the one who is holding the key to heaven, open the gate, and don't let go. And the one who recognizes the path, lead the way, but don't let go. And the God who will not take us all together as one? Will we want that God? Or will we laugh together, holding hands and loving the expression on each precious face, perfectly content? Until we find the God who likes us all together as One.
