God, help me see myself and others as you see, then help me be who you see.

Holy God, creator of all that is, help us to open our eyes to your God-light. Help us to find the places you call us to help put the world right again.

“In the years to come I will learn how necessary it is to keep dancing, how celebration is not a luxury but a staple of life, how in the grimmest moments I will need to take myself down to the closest festival at hand.”

I am reminded that this year of struggle has been filled with sacred acts of joyful resistance. I will do so in a sacred act of joyful resistance.
