Spring is on its way.

NEWS from QUAKER CENTER August/ September 2020

ARE YOU WILLING & ABLE TO HELP?
At this moment in time, we are holding our heads above water, financially, despite losing about $15,000 per month of budgeted income. We started out with some healthy reserves, we’ve cut back on expenditures and Friends have been exceedingly generous in offering financial support. But, as the pandemic shows no sign of going away, and as we struggle, nationally and globally, with denial and a lack of informed leadership, we are nearly certain to approach the limits of our ability to stay afloat and to chart the course. Please help, as you are able:

QUAKER QUOTES AND QUERIES

Let go of the stream of distress

~ from “Our True Heritage” by Thich Nhat Hanh

The cosmos is filled with precious gems.
I want to offer a handful of them to you this morning.

Each moment you are alive is a gem,
shining through and containing Earth and sky,
Water and clouds.

It needs you to breathe gently
for the miracles to be displayed.
Suddenly you hear the birds singing,
the pines chanting…

You, the richest person on Earth,
who have been going around begging,
stop being the destitute child.
Come back and claim your heritage.
Enjoy your happiness
and offer it to everyone.
Cherish this very moment.
Let go of the stream of distress
and embrace life fully in your arms.

QUERIES: Are you able to see the miracles that are displayed? Have you ever acted like a destitute child when you were surrounded by gems? Are you able to embrace life fully?
