Leader:           Please, slow down and walk with me.

                      Be my companion for a mile or two and tell me your story,

                      for 1 have much to learn and every pilgrims story enhances my own.

 

All:                Speak to me of yearnings beyond people and things

                      and show me the leaning of your heart like a compass towards true north.

 

Leader:           It does not matter that we borrow from different books

                      or use different words to describe the journey.

 

All:                 We are on the same path whatever shoes we wear.
