"We gather together": familiar words to many of us.
"We" -- called here not by name, not by special invitation -- but we who are here, who, walking by the door, come in; who come anonymously, burdened and borne by our visions, yearnings, despairs, solitudes.
"Gather" -- called here not by law, not by outer compulsion, but by inward necessity do we come, alone or with others, casual, yet intent; drawing in, drawing toward, drawing near.
"Together" -- this is the hardest, the most difficult thing -- for within and without this building and this room we irk, frustrate and anger each other at least as often as we lend or give support.
"Together" is a place; "together" is a way; "together" is a focus: an acknowledgment that we who gather are seekers and are equal in our seeking.
