Thank you Inclusive Leader, Harriet Greenwood, for composing this beautiful song and thank you to you and Howard Greenwood for gifting it to the Inclusive Leadership Community.  I’ve put the words to photos about compassion from the Inclusive Leadership photo library.

“Gather round. Celebrate. This closing year.

In the cold of mid-winter, we will not fear.

When the money you’ve saved cannot keep out the storm

Where can we turn to?

To feel safe and warm?

We have only each other. Only each other.

Lovers and strangers, and sisters and brothers.

No where to go if we can’t live together.

Where can we turn to?

We have only each other.

Gather round. Celebrate. This solstice night.

In the dark of mid-winter, let love shine bright.

When the money you’ve spent cannot hold back the tears.

Where can we turn to?

To feel joy and peace?

We have only each other. Only each other.

Lovers and strangers, and sisters and brothers.

No where to go if we can’t live together.

Where can we turn to?

We have only each other.

Only each other. Only each other.

Lovers and strangers, and sisters and brothers.

No where to go if we can’t live together.

Where can we turn to?

We have only each other.”
