The opportunity for love...
"There is in each of us, no matter how humble, a capacity for love. Even
if our lives have not taken the course we had envisioned, even if we are
less than the shape of our dreams, we are part of the human family.
Somewhere, in the most inconsequential corners of our lives, is the
opportunity for love.
If I am blind, I can run my hand across the back of a shell and
celebrate beauty. If I have no legs, I can sit in quiet wonder before
the restless murmurs of the sea. If I am wounded in spirit, I can reach
out my hand to those who are hurting. If I am lonely, I can go among
those who are desperate for love. There is no tragedy or injustice so
great, no life so small and inconsequential, that we cannot bear witness
to the light in the quiet acts and hidden moments of our days.
And who can say which of these acts and moments will make a difference?
The universe is a vast and magical membrane of meaning, stretching
across time and space, and it is not given to us to know her secrets and
her ways. Perhaps we were placed here to meet the challenge of a single
moment; perhaps the touch we give will cause the touch that will change
the world."

Remember This One?
"Let us pray to the One who holds us
in the hollow of His hands,
To the One who holds us in the curve of Her arms,
To the One whose flesh is the flesh of hills and
hummingbirds and angleworms,
Whose skin is the color of an old Black woman
and a young white man; and the color of the leopard
and the grizzly bear and the green grass snake,
Whose hair is like the aurora borealis, rainbows,
nebulae, waterfalls, and a spider's web,
Whose eyes sometime shine like the Evening Star,
and then like fireflies, and then again like an open wound,
Whose touch is both the touch of life and the touch of death,
And whose name is everyone's, but mostly mine.
And what shall we pray?
Let us say, 'thank you.'"
Max Coots
American Minister
