I want to stand up for what I believe in. But why do I get the feeling that we are being pushed into the arena to fight each other for someone else’s amusement and our own distraction? www.jessicakantrowitz.com/i-have-becom...

Peace tonight to all who are worried. I won’t promise everything will be okay, because everything’s already not okay. But I do promise that the bad thing won’t happen just because you didn’t worry about it enough. Here’s a small box. Put it in there. Close the lid. And sleep. ~365 Days of Peace

I can't tell you how grateful I am for every single donation. I'm hoping to reach my goal in the next couple of weeks so I can focus on doctor's appointments, grant applications, and looking for editing work. Shares help so much! Thank you! www.gofundme.com/f/support-je...

My friend, Devon, is on her way to Turkey today for life-saving surgery, and she's so close to being fully funded. Can we close the gap so she can recover without financial stress, and with everything she needs to be safe and comfortable? Just $993 to go. gofund.me/4b19a421c

And for our lectio divina practice, we read "the transfiguration" by the wonderful @jfkantrowitz.bsky.social. Thank you to @terranen.bsky.social for choosing the text, for creating the graphic, and for reading so beautifully for us tonight. 🙏🏼❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

sometimes i feel like peter
when he was with jesus
and moses and elijah showed up

just so happy to be here
with such people as you
that i say silly things

like, "shall i build us a shelter
to contain all this glory
before it explodes into the world

"a clubhouse to keep
our little clique together
on this mountain?"

sometimes i forget
that to be transfigured
is to change, to grow, to widen

to be turned into fire, a blazing bush
consumed, but not consumed
expanding, radiating light
