Love summer evenings

We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.

- Marian Wright Edelman

It takes a serious lack of imagination and arrogance to believe that a God who transcends all of time and eternity and created all things in the cosmos is utterly transfixed on the victory of one religious group in one of the youngest nations in the 21st century.

What does it mean to be born of the Spirit?

We have only begun
to love the earth.
We have only begun
to imagine the fullness of life.
How could we tire of hope?
-so much is in bud.
How can desire fail?
-we have only begun
to imagine justice & mercy,
only begun to envision
how it might be

-Denise Levertov
