Dear Friends,
We hope that you are safe and well.
Today's Meditation is a reflection by Ilia Delio on "The Beautiful Wholeness of Nature." Her bottom line is that "God who is the whole of every whole will continue to empower from within, because divine love always seeks new life."
We invite you to join us as we commit ourselves to working tirelessly to end systemic and structural racism in our society, in the church, in healthcare, in the workplace--wherever it shows up so that everyone may come to have more abundant life. May this meditation nourish our contemplative-active hearts and sustain all of us in action.

Today's Meditation starts off the week with a laugh. It is an eight year-old Irish schoolgirl who wants to demolish her school. "Can you give me a ballpark figure?" It was sent to us by Tom Marchant.

Today's meditation is a reflection from the Upaya Zen Center "Swimming Upstream."
In the spirit of our philosophy of co-creating community and our awareness that the Spirit speaks through each of us, we invite you to share your meditations with us as well. We truly believe that it is God's economy of abundance: when we share our blessings, our thoughts, our feelings, we are all made richer.

Today's Meditation is an op-ed that Anne Lamott wrote. David Gawlik called it to our attention. Anne Lamott is refreshing for her humanness and transparency. I resonated with her hoping to having seats in heaven near the dessert table, with her feeling small and wanting to connect with Someone and some mission bigger than me.
