And On The Day Of Pentecost

With that mighty windAnd energy like wildfireThe Spirit of God burned down partitions of differenceLending presence,Making clear that we are all the children of divinityMaking space for our worship in temples, in the wild, and in common places.Making room for us.

Never forget that we belong to one another. Always remember that our liberations are intertwined and none of us will get free while others are bound.

My 2016 in Review

While 2016 has been hard, it has been a year I am grateful for because it stretched and pushed me. It's reminded me that the disquiet I feel in my spirit can be harnessed to do good work that is responsive to the need I see in the world.So thank you to the year that has encouraged me to unapologetically be myself and walk, speak, and act boldly in the places that I find myself rooted in.
