Wednesday of Hope – It Is Time for Healing
I know these are scary, uncertain, hurtful times, but I really wish people would stop talking about what a trash fire the world is. Our world is a wounded relative, not a hopeless ruin, and we’re called to help heal the injuries we’ve inflicted on our kin.

Wednesday of Hope – Finding Hope in the Stillness

Life Is a Garden
life is a garden, not a road
we enter and exit through the same gate
wandering, where we go matters less than what we notice– Bokonon
Wednesday of Hope – the Importance of Pausing

The World Needs Appreciation
The world has enough beautiful mountains and meadows, spectacular skies and serene lakes. It has enough lush forests, flowered fields, and sandy beaches. It has plenty of stars and the promise of a new sunrise and sunset every day. What the world needs more of is people to appreciate and enjoy it.
