“May we be open to seeing not only the beautiful moments but the moments like this Psalm lifts. And when we say, “How long?” we [MUST] also recognize that we each have a role to play….. [to] have the courage to keep looking, keep seeing, and keep acting to make change.”
Amen. Evil flourishes in silence, in resignation. We are each made for a moment such as this, to add our voices, and to stop and reverse the injustices that are occurring. So all and the earth flourish as God intends. It is ours to do.
The Quaker Hymn has this line in its chorus, "How can I keep from singing?" I found myself singing "How can I keep from seeing?" So far, I have no role to play. I imagine God will give me something worthwhile to do. For now, I'm reprinting the post cards I designed a few years ago about our Democracy and writing to all my state and federal representatives. Perhaps, that's enough but it feels useless.

Thank you for this - I have updated my post to incorporate how you suggested above. So needed. Thank you.
Amen

Definitely not useless
