Devotion 2
Inspiration
There is a time for everything,
A time for giving birth,
A time for dying;
A time for tears,
A time for laughter;
A time for mourning,
A time for dancing. – Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, 4
“We are part of a larger reality, a vast vibrant community of meadow and
mountain, water and sky, a great rush of life rich with possibility but also
bounded by necessity. All things come and go. Whether this be a formula
for weary resignation or for tranquil acceptance…, the most we can hope for
is that all things come and all things go, over and over again.”
– John Mogabgab, “Editor Weavings”
Reflection
Where are the comings and goings of your life? Are you in a space to
embrace and accept them in this season of your life’s journey?
Action in Contemplation
In this season of Lent, which coincides with the emergence of spring,
allow yourself a moment to pay careful attention to the forms of new life
sprouting up around you.
– Kathleen Murrin, Rainbow Action Network
