Feels like there's a great deal to learn about ourselves from what we're seeing world leaders doing.
How are we unnecessarily raising the stakes in our own communities, when it comes to collaboration, energetic exchanges, and cooperation? We need to have a good hard look at ourselves.

When it comes to being a reverend, I expand the term to encompass more and more of what the world needs.
Right now, my biggest focus is on all the ways sacred activism can bring about true, lasting, living peace in ways that we can act upon ourselves, fully within our own power and means.

Small acts of kindness and resistance matter.
Every conversation, every moment of care and every refusal to give in adds up.

“HOPE”
MONTH OF MINISTRY, DAY 28
Hope is brave, radical, & dangerous.
Hope is necessary and appropriate.
Hope will lead us to despair
If we confuse it with expectation.
If we remain open and patient,
Hope will reward us with miracles.
It always does.
Thank you for joining me for #monthofministry!

“OPENNESS”
MONTH OF MINISTRY, DAY 25
The most powerful antidote to despair is openness. My favorite flavors of openness are:
💫 suspense of judgment
💫 willingness to be incorrect
💫 expectation of miracles
They’re rare, but the good news is they can be cultivated with effort.

A big might-have-been in my life haunted me for decades. I ruminated over it constantly, at times obsessively. I confronted it through healing modalities. I eventually tried to reconnect to it and claim it, only to relive my loss once again.
