This Day: Visit us each day for a contemplative experience – an image, a Scripture reading, a quotation from Fruit of the Vine, a query, and a poem-prayer. On Saturday each week, we will feature an excerpted Quaker testimony. On Sunday each week, we will offer a Scripture reading, historic Quaker quotation, questions for consideration, and a personal essay from the Illuminate lesson for that week.

Scripture: James 4:13–15

“Nevertheless, in Psalm 90:12, we are told to number our days, our passing shadow days. The psalmist says: ‘Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.’” –Michael Graves, Fruit of the Vine

Query: Are you conscious of the time you have been given?


Fine Tuning

God has fine-tuned me.

I take no credit.

The piano is a silent piece of wood

until the master hand

tames strings and keys to sound together.

–Carol Bialock, Coral Castles
