Mortality
I am smitten with author Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache series. This quote is from her book A Trick of the Light page 259.
“There were worse things than not meeting God. Meeting Him, for instance.”

All People Are Children — Rolf Jacobsen
All people are children when they sleep.
There’s no war in them then.
They open their hands and breathe
in that quiet rhythm heaven has given them….
If only we could speak to one another then
when our hearts are half-open flowers.
Words like golden bees would drift in.
Rolf Jacobsen, 1907 – 1994

Prophetic Witness — Rebecca Parker
Our times ask us to exercise our capacity for prophetic witness. By prophetic witness I mean our capacity to see what is happening, to say what is happening and to act in accordance with what we know. Prophetic witness is the ability to name those places where we resist knowing what needs to be known. Rebecca Parker, b. 1953

Can you recall a time when it fell to you to be a “prophetic witness”? How did it go?
