"The question that the spirit said that day to me was, what are you going to do with your six minutes? Or your six hours? Or your six days? Or your six months? Or maybe your sixty years? Do you recognize that breath is too precious to waste?" Rev. Dr. William Barber II.
This question from Rev. Dr. William Barber II is a timely, relevant and inspiring one for me. Particularly in this tumultuous time in our nation and world. May I recognize that my breath, my life, the time I still have on the Earth is too precious to waste. Thank you Pat and Jean for sharing this reflection with us today.
Thank you Michael for your faithfulness and work to support others. You are truly an inspiration as you advocated and affirm others in being their authentic selves.
“Leave safety behind. Put your body on the line. Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind – even if your voice shakes. When you least expect it, someone may actually listen to what you have to say." Maggie Kuhn of the Gray Panthers.
I remember reading about Maggie Kuhn and the Gray Panther movement. She redefined activism for elders, no question. There is much to consider in her advice above for this era in our nation and world. May I, may we, be inspired by Maggie Kuhn's example and counsel to not be silent, to speak up, even if our voice shakes.
