I will pour out my spirit on
all flesh;
your sons and your
daughters shall
prophesy,
your old men shall dream
dreams,
and your young men shall
see visions." Joel 2:28
in these afterward days,
may our dreams of justice
not turn into nightmares
for the most vulnerable.
may our children continue
to call us to mend creation,
to speak the names of the cruel,
to challenge the privileged
to open their eyes and hearts.
and may their children look back,
giving thanks that when you
kept nudging us, pushing us,
breaking through our shuttered fears,
we did not turn away or run away,
but opened our souls to the Spirit,
holding tight to one another and
becoming whirlwinds of grace,
of hope, of kindness, of love.
