Eileen Workman writes:

You are not weak for trembling in the face of cruelty.
You are not naïve for hoping when the sky darkens.
You are not failing because you cannot fix it all.

You are part of something ancient and emergent:
a slow, deep evolution of consciousness that transcends the need for violent revolution.
You are part of the sacred turning.

This Sunday we consider how this “sacred turning” is revolutionary.  In the face of all the emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual turmoil that seems to be free-floating through our universe at the moment, what might we learn from the poet who reminds us:

You are not here to silence the oppressor,
but to make oppression obsolete through the gentle,
radical embodiment of wholeness.
