“Do not fear agitation, for agitation is the rhythm of life itself; to be put into motion, to be stirred. Do not fear the movements that decenter what you always thought permanent. You carry within the center of your understanding, the compass to show you the way.”
-Tania Márquez
What is disturbing the rhythm of your life today? What is the new rhythm that is emerging?
“The question is not whether we will get lost in life, but rather how we will move through it in faith. Will we dwell on everything that we have lost? Or will we focus instead on everything that we have yet to find? As it happens, there is much that awaits us in our lostness. Much to be excavated, examined, even exalted. In not yet knowing what will be, we are afforded the opportunity to appreciate what already is.”
-Erik Martínez Resly
How do you feel when you are lost? How has being lost helped you find yourself?
“Creative Darkness, closest friend, you whisper in the night;
you calm our fears as unknown paths surprise us with new sight.”
-Jann Aldredge-Clanton
Spend some time in darkness today. Feel its power and its healing.
Bridges are marvels of engineering and architecture that provide vital connection for societies. Similarly, we build spiritual bridges that provide vital connection for our souls.
Make a connection today. Reach out.
“I don’t want a faith that wordsmiths my truth, that asks why it’s necessary to use the words that best describe my experience as a queer person. I don’t need help finding alternative words that might go over better with strangers. I need my siblings in faith to notice their discomfort in hearing about my experiences, and use it as a catalyst to action rather than as a way to cement their own comfort.”
-Chris Rothbauer
How have you used your own discomfort as a catalyst to action?
