              <text>Gather up whatever is &#13;
glittering in the gutter,&#13;
whatever has tumbled &#13;
in the waves or fallen &#13;
in flames out of the sky,&#13;
&#13;
for it’s not only our&#13;
hearts that are broken, &#13;
but the heart&#13;
of the world as well.&#13;
Stitch it back together. &#13;
&#13;
Make a place where&#13;
the day speaks to the night&#13;
and the earth speaks to the sky.&#13;
Whether we created God&#13;
or God created us&#13;
&#13;
it all comes down to this:&#13;
In our imperfect world&#13;
we are meant to repair&#13;
and stitch together &#13;
what beauty there is, stitch it &#13;
&#13;
with compassion and wire. &#13;
See how everything &#13;
we have made gathers &#13;
the light inside itself&#13;
and overflows? A blessing.</text>
