Hard times take many forms: the loss of a job or other economic hardship; the devastation of a flood or other natural disaster; the horror of violent assault. Just getting out of bed can be an act of great courage at times like these. Whisper a prayer for yourself, or say one for your friend, community, or the world. Hope will find you.Â

“I used to whisper evening prayers / Now I recite statistics”
“I’m calling her daily, even / Though it took a pandemic”
“I am sorry / you cannot play / with your friends”
“I’m OK during the day, but at night I get scared”
“Please mute yourself and listen”
“I love seeing the inside of your home”
