In seeking a description of Interfaith spirituality, I can’t help but recall a time, about 14 years ago, when I was working at my Catholic parish. The church secretary and I had become close friends in spite of the fact that we were about as opposite as two people could be.

“If you put your heart against the earth with me, in serving
every creature, our Beloved will enter you from our sacred realm
and we will be, we will be so happy.”
—Rumi
(in Love Poems from God by Daniel Ladinsky, p. 65)
 

“We return thanks to our mother, the earth, which sustains us.
We return thanks to the rivers and streams, which supply us with water.
We return thanks to all herbs, which furnish medicines for the cure of our diseases.
We return thanks to the moon and stars,
which have given to us their light when the sun is gone.
