We need movements rooted in love right now, movements powered not by difference and exclusion and punishment, but by common ground, compassion, humility, healthy boundaries, patience and healing.
And so another Lent begins... It is always a time of challenge. Forty days, trying to balance life's normal routine as we reflect on our mortality and push to practice an added discipline to our already packed days.
This quote, by Adrienne Maree Brown, draws out all the themes that cry for our attention at this time.
At this time... we are given forty days. Why not use these days to consider our common ground, practice compassion and patience, and move as if every step is rooted in love?
It may not be that hard, or it may feel impossible. But with the right intention, it could change the world.
