Went down to the white house
Took back what they stole from me
Took back my humanity
No going to let no king
Walk all over me

He influenced my UCC preacher father, who taught and shared his work with me. I regularly check on what he had to say when preaching from the Hebrew scriptures.
Walter was my generation’s senior voice, a prophetic call to conscience and right living, and a goad to our tendency to comfort the comfortable. #brueggemann #preach #ucc

Mom's and pups this morning. The mom's wanted to nap while the pups wanted to play. Needed that chance to breathe in the beauty.

Hope
As flowers bloom
As poppies burst into song
Swaying in the breeze
Following the light
Hope
That state murder is not the end
Hope
That the Holy will be with us
Hope
That life will continue to be born
Hope
This week, my garden is bursting with color. The poppies have multiplied.

On those days when hope can’t be found and joy
has left
when the world has fallen apart
when you are seeing the dead bodies
of babies blown apart and shot
when the floods rage and the fires roar
when that bottle for cooking in the
back of the cupboard looks good
when the words hurt

What I know about hope
It’s living and loving, being brave and kind no matter
how ugly, scary, and mean the world becomes
It’s planting a tree knowing that you may never feel
its shade

What I know about hope
It’s finding twenty dollars in your coat jacket when
you didn’t have money for milk
It’s that wildflower growing on that ledge above the
waterfall
It’s getting up everyday even when your heart is
breaking, and the tears are still coming, because
you miss them so much

It’s the sound of a baby laughing and a toddler

milkweed that is growing everywhere
It’s chasing a rainbow as you walk the dog
