Where We Live
(on 1 November)

Diwali
Illuminating light
Victorious
Over
Obfuscating darkness

All Saints
The living church that
Loves
And serves
In the here and now

The days
Are the same this year
And
I’m not sure how
But they should
Share

In that
There should be respect
All around
For what celebrates
The good
Even the godly

In our codes
Our
Healthy notions of winning
How about
Through service
And through love

Approaches
With respect
Then
Decisions
Considering human
Mutuality
Regarding wonderful
Uniquenesses
And then
Where we go
From here
