The dark around us, come,
let us meet here together,
members one of another,
here in our holy room,
Here on our little floor,
here in the daylit sky,
rejoicing mind and eye,
rejoining known and knower,
Light, leaf, foot, hand, and wing,
such order as we know,
one household, high and low,
and all the earth shall sing.
–Wendell Berry, Sabbaths, “X”, p. 58
