From p. 36
Equal Time

It is impossible to believe, Holy One,
that what we find most full of delight in this life,
sexuality,
will not in some way be a part of the next,
that we will spend eternity adoring you
in all you've made, Divine Creator,
and not at least equal time
adoring each other.

May it be so.
