I ** thought ** that ** I ** thought ** to ** myself,
                     “Today is a new day.
                      You should see the sunrise.
                      It is so wonderfully usual.”

B. . .u. . .t, later I heard God say,
                     “Wasn’t that a wonderfully usual sunrise.”
Then Brahman expressed,
                     “Wasn’t that a wonderfully usual sunrise.”
And Jehovah declared,
                     “Wasn’t that a wonderfully usual sunrise.”
Soon Allah added,
                     “Wasn’t that a wonderfully usual sunrise.”
And Spirit echoed,
                     “Wasn’t that a wonderfully usual sunrise.”

And then from the North Pole to the South,
from the Far East to the Near West,
from the depths of history
to the eons of the future

there was a chorus . . .
Magnificent, harmonious multiples of the same voice,
                    the same intonation,
                    the same inflection,
                    the same BEING,

                    “Wasn’t that a wonderfully usual sunrise.
                    You are one people.
                    Love each other.
                    I am one God."
