though the earth should change,
though the mountains shake
in the heart of the sea;" Psalm 46:2
in the heart of the sea;" Psalm 46:2
despite the politicians
who cannot speak truth
and those whose faltering words
raise concerns among many,
we will not be deterred
by seeking justice for all.
even when storms are increasing
in both events and ferocity,
we will not stop partnering
with you in the healing of creation.
though the anger around us
makes us wary of stepping outside
and the bile spewed by others
discourages us from speaking,
we will not be afraid to remind
others of your compassion for the forgotten,
your hospitality for the immigrant,
your love for those rejected so casually.
