Show of Hands*

Worship is a show of hands:
folded, upturned, raised, offered
Subtle and open gestures of Grace.
Liturgy is a show of hands: waving, shaking, holding, turning, taking, serving, passing, placing, blessing, breaking, binding, loosing
Mercy in motion. A language, in sign,
Of invitation, reception and commitment.
All our services, gatherings and sacred assemblies
Are a show of hands
In loving favor
Of Peace.

* in humble acknowledgement & appreciation of Victor Wooten for the inspiration
