Thank you, everyone!

It always strikes me that God seems most at home in the low places—in smallness, in honest humility, in people who know they don’t have it all figured out. When we stop trying to tower over others, we finally become spacious enough for wisdom to live and grow in us. “A Meetinghouse for One.”

I named this one “ Void the stars run quietly. #art #digitalart #writerscommunity #poetry #poems

Sometimes, something gorgeous shows up on the ordinary. Like this little bridge I found on the trail.

If your theology requires an enemy, it isn’t theology — it’s insecurity with branding.

Calling civilian deaths ‘collateral damage’ won’t soften the testimony against you. Every euphemism is just another brick on the gallows of truth.

Friends, let us give thanks—but also give thought. Gratitude without justice is just a fancy napkin on a messy table.

Quakers don’t do political parties. We do political potlucks — you bring your conscience, I’ll bring the biscuits.

I’m not saying politics needs more Quakers… but a little silence might save us all.

A Quakers take. #politics

As a Quaker I am called to see “That of God in everyone” ~ tho in most politicians it flickers like a candle in a strong wind.

Bare feet on cool earth, I lay down my sword and pride— truth walks beside me. #haiku #quakerism #holy #art #digitalart

Sometimes I think Congress could learn something from Quaker meetings. Mainly: the art of sitting in silence until something worth saying arises.

Historians must be exhausted. They keep writing warnings that no one reads, and then we all act surprised when the sequel drops. They say everything happens for a reason, but sometimes it appears the reason is that a poor choice was made with great confidence.

I may be biased but Michigan sure is pretty! #puremichigan #michigan
