Dear Friends,
We hope that you are safe and well.
Today's Meditation is a poem by Naomi Shihab Nye "Shoulders" inviting us to carry each other with care.
We invite you to join us as we commit ourselves to working tirelessly to end systemic and structural racism in our society, in the church, in healthcare, in the workplace--wherever it shows up so that everyone may come to have more abundant life. May this meditation nourish our contemplative-active hearts and sustain all of us in action.
