There is a knowing beyond words;
a feeling beyond touch,
a seeing beyond sight.
The mind can know.
The heart can comprehend,
but until the soul is affirmed,
knowledge is a useless thing.
For the mind, given knowledge,
must ever seek to know more.
And the heart, comprehending,
may still doubt.
But, if the soul is affirmed;
if that meeting of mind and heart
creates a nobler unity,
we are nevermore alone.
Concealed within our separate selves
lives the wine of Communion.
stem, leaf and flower
of our fellowship together
bearing fruit in its season.
