In the chaos of the world—in our own small roles—we can manifest peace to others in our everyday lives. We can be available. When we hear the cry, we can be the ones who respond.

In the chaos of the world—in our own small roles—we can manifest peace to others in our everyday lives. We can be available. When we hear the cry, we can be the ones who respond.
For us, living with the effects of climate change now, in this very moment, we find ourselves faced with our own global cannonball moment—a moment of agony and opportunity.
My energy wanes whether I’m caring for my daughter or working on some great feat of justice. And that’s alright. We are called to be patient with ourselves—and then to recommit to the good work God has asked of us.
