FREEDOM

 

Freedom from oppression.
Starts with a seed. A seed of hope.
Hope and faith. A belief in the wonder of life.
The antithesis of evil and darkness.
Must be kept at bay.
By the surroundings. Community.
It takes a village.
That waters. Cares. Nurtures.
Delivers a sprout.
Until a plant emerges.
And finally "branches and fruit for my people"
Another seed falls.
A Miracle.
From God. And his people.

PRAYER

“Right now -- in the very instant of groundlessness -- is the seed of taking care of those who need our care and of discovering our goodness…” 

- from When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron
