Quaker Meeting 

Theresa Flacke

A place of human connection

A place for resurrection

Where heart and souls meet

A place for coming home

 

A place of silence

Precious quiet and sacred

Respect at the core

For the individual and the group

 

A place where you fall in step

Though you are not moving

Where you feel understood

Though you are not speaking

 

A place where silence is profound

Like the spoken word of ministry

Where questions are encouraged

And Answers rarely given

 

A place where the mystical is almost tangible

Where the spirit feels near

Where the silence is awesome

The divine maybe here

 

A place of peace

But not about sweetness

A firmness and a serious

discipline at core

 

It demands truth and integrity

A fiery Adherence to value

Of all life and the planet

With reverence to justice and true fairness

 

A place where refugees are welcome

Where the spiritual search is a given

Where the written word is there for the taking

Should we get lost in imagination

 

Quaker meeting

A rare oasis of calm

Where enlightenment is possible

Where transformation is within grasp.
