By Sister Marie LeClerc Laux
Each day you sit and smile
As we name you in our prayer:
Spirit, Father, Sophia, Yahweh
Mother, Intelligence, Creator, God
Wisdom. Energy, Relationship, Love…
You smile and nod
“Yes,” to each.
And centuries from now
when our list is eons long,
You sit and smile,
You: All-and-None,
loving us as we still try
as if it matters
how we name you
only
that we do
knowing that
you are you
and we are we
and we love each other.
