Our Offerings

I was gifted a small orchid on my birthday a couple years ago. As we were celebrating, it got bumped from the counter and the stem broke. It looked hopeless that a recovery was possible, but I kept her and gave her a window spot to enjoy. Months later, she grew a secondary branch off the broken one and produced the most beautiful fuchsia flowers. This year, she grew another branch from the bottom and is almost ready to bloom. I named her Orcheena, and she reminds me that even our smallest actions make a difference and ripple further than we can imagine.

Our Offerings

There is chaos and anxiety

Tensions on this land

Cruelty and divisiveness

Which are hard to understand-

But there is also kindness

There is beauty, there is hope

Flowers that are blooming

And love to help us cope-

So we have an opportunity

To do the work of healing

And help each other navigate

The hurt that we are feeling-

Through action and compassion

Through offering our gifts

And standing up for truth and peace

For this world to make a shift~
