Where are you? I called
and hurried out
over the silky
sea of the night, across
the good garden of branches,
leaves, water, down
into the garden
of fire.
This skin you wear
so neatly, in which
you settle
so brightly
on the summer grass, how
shall I know it?
from “The Gardens,” by Mary Oliver
Scripture Reading: Matthew 17: 1-9

“One of the things that has to be faced is the process of waiting to change the system, how much we have got to do to find out who we are, where we have come from and where we are going.”
– Ella Baker
