A reflection for this season of rupture, reckoning, and return.

A meditation on safety

Let this be our prayer. Let this be our stand. Let this be our refusal to accept empire as sacred, or militarism as holy.

“Roses bloom in radiant resistance / Dandelions scatter like wild prayers…”

“guard us against tribal instinct ingrained”

“We grieve the indifference to / the hunger and need of millions…”

“Teach us always to choose life, to pursue justice, / and to rise above vengeance.”

“If you look at the Constitution and the government and yawn…”

“Let your blessing pour out on the members of the LGBTQIA community…” 

“We seek that our government will offer kindness and compassion to the oppressed who approach our borders and to those who require refuge within.”
