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: Psalm 98:4; Colossians 3:16

“From the many biblical admonishments to lift up our voices together in song, we know that music is a special gift from God.” –Darlene Graves, Fruit of the Vine

Query: Can you hear the music? Do you have the courage to sing it?


Trip to the Edge of the World

Going to the edge of the world

is something I don’t plan for.

I don’t measure my strength

or plot out the journey.

I just sometimes find myself there,

and hold tight to the hand that brought me,

lest I fall off.

The view is breathtaking.

I breathe deep.

All I can tell you is

there is no better place to be.

–Carol Bialock, Coral Castles
