“We, bearers of the dream, affirm that a new vision of hope is emerging.
We pledge to work for that community in which justice will be actively present.
We affirm that there is struggle yet ahead.
Yet we know that in the struggle is the hope for the future.
We affirm that we are co-creators of the future, not passive pawns.
-Loretta Williams
Where is hope emerging in your life? How can you co-create it?
In the Christian season of Advent, the spiritual task before followers is waiting. Waiting for the birth of a new era, waiting for goodness to return to the world, waiting.
How do you make waiting possible in your life?
Today is International Persons with Disabilities Day. Reflect on the things that your body can do–and the things your body cannot do. Reflect on the ways your brain works differently from the brains of others. Reflect on the barriers to access erected throughout our society and what it would take to dismantle them.
How can you make something more accessible to someone today?
We are in the middle of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, which celebrates the mystery of long ago of one day’s worth of oil burning for eight days. The Hanukkah menorah blesses the space in which it is lit as the original oil sanctified the desecrated temple.
How can you embrace mystery to bless the space you inhabit today?
This month, we will be exploring the theme of mystery–the unknown, the unknowable, and even those things we’d rather not know. Mysteries ask us to search for something beyond what we have right now.
What are you searching for today?
