“It’s important to note that God does not obliterate the darkness; rather, God names it and limits it—puts boundaries on it. The boundary is the light.” ~ Lisa Sharon Harper
How do you notice boundaries?
Boundaries
Poppies
The poppies send up their
orange flares; swaying
in the wind, …
…that light
is an invitation
to happiness,
and that happiness,
when it’s done right,
is a kind of holiness,
palpable and redemptive.
Inside the bright fields… ~ Mary Oliver
How are you receiving this invitation?
Light of truth
The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them. ~ Ida B Wells

Journey to hope

Shimmering

to open our eyes,
to learn to see
what has forever
shimmered in front of us —
Jan Richardson, Where the Light Begins
What shimmers before you?
Winter wilderness
When our spirits have grown cold, send us the warmth of the Holy Spirit. Rekindle the flame of love within us. ~ Claudia Mair Burney
How do you rekindle?
