“We look again at the widow.... By repeatedly showing up in court and demanding that justice be granted, she is participating in the on-going divine demand for justice for all people.” –Patricia Thomas in Fruit of the Vine

Query: How are you participating in the on-going divine demand for justice?

To Keep Faith

Trust your bones

Trust the pull of the earth

And the earth itself

Trust the hearts of trees

The stone at the edge of the sea

And all else true

Trust that water will bear you up

Trust the moon to keep faith

With ebb and flow

Trust the leafing

The chrysalis, the seed

And every other way

Death gives birth to resurrection

–Bethany Lee, The Breath Between
