Appreciating the mix


So many different types of clouds 
Coexisting in the sky —
 Dark, and light, and gray; 
Cumulus, cirrus, stratus, and altocumulus, 
All dancing together, a patchwork inflorescence 
 Of flowers in a garden of blue; 
Like the churches I grew up in, 
Where folks of all persuasions 
And backgrounds sat together in the pews, 
United despite differences 
By shared experience and beliefs…
