Quote of the Week. . .

Food for Thought. . .
Still involved in recovering, and not fully prepared for a reflection this week. The following is from Richard Rohr's recent reflection in his daily post. Well worth the read. . .

The bloodline of God is connected to everything . . . shells on the ocean shore, the mushrooms growing in the forest, the trees stretching to the clouds, the tiniest speck of snow in the winter, and our dust-to-dustness—we are all connected and tethered to this sacred gift of creation. —Kaitlin B. Curtice, Native: Identity, Belonging, and Rediscovering God
Link of the Week
A beautiful and poignant short film on social anxiety. The narrative of the dream, perhaps, resonates with all of us. And the dog rocks. . .
Going Deeper
A classic video that has been preserved by Frontline. It shows how quickly we can discriminate. Well worth the watch . . .
