This is how it could be...

I am moved by God's gracious presence every time I hear this song - especially this version with Miriam Makeba from South Africa. It speaks to me of how we could be together - it takes work and practice, learning and listening, taking risks and making mistakes - and trusting in a vision greater than ourselves and our little minds and hearts. But that greater vision resonates in us all no matter how old or wounded or afraid...

So I hope and pray - sing and trust - and remember how it could be and ask God's blessing on us all tomorrow as we in the USA go to the polls. We have some wicked challenges at home and abroad... I pray that we might all remember the cost of freedom.
