OPEN TO HOPE
by Linda Kavelin-Popov
May we open our hearts and souls to hope — hope for a world of unity, equity, freedom, humanity and kindness.
May we merge our wills and our actions to care for the earth, restoring her clean waters, air and land.
May we live lightly and responsibly steward all we have been given.
May we help and sustain all of our brothers and sisters, and may we support leaders who value all of us.
Let us each discern our part in this season of healing and transformation. With the Grace of God and the power of our unity, anything is possible.
