The End, For Now

Pilgrims!

We've come to the end of this leg of our journey together, for now! Tomorrow we'll convene to reflect upon the past 10 weeks, and to offer blessings for the time ahead. 

Please join us  at 9am PST/5pm GMT. 

We'll focus some of our attention on a quote from Howard Thurman entitled “The Growing Edge" from his Meditations of the Heart, written in 1953:

Look well to the growing edge. All around us worlds are dying and new worlds are being born; all around us life is dying and life is being born. The fruit ripens on the tree, the roots are silently at work in the darkness of the earth against a time when there shall be new leaves, fresh blossoms, green fruit. Such is the growing edge! It is the extra breath from the exhausted lung, the one more thing to try when all else has failed, the upward reach of life when weariness closes in upon all endeavor. This is the basis of hope in moments of despair, the incentive to carry on when times are out of joint and humans have lost their reason; the source of confidence when worlds crash and dreams whiten into ash. The birth of the child—life’s most dramatic answer to death—this is the growing edge incarnate. Look well to the growing edge!


See you tomorrow!
