From my perspective, this is the ultimate purpose of our faith communities – to always see through the mind’s attempt to flatten, and to open the heart to the infinite depth of one another.

If we refuse to be grateful, we close ourselves off from the possibility of real relationship with others.

Our political viewpoints – whether they lean right or left, conservative or liberal have the potential to be imbued with light – with thoughtfulness, presence, and the desire to enhance and protect what is good and true.

For me, “Praying with my feet,” means any ACTION I take that affirms the inherent dignity of all human beings and all of life. There are many different ways to protest.

It’s an approach that recognizes that being God’s emissaries in the world is a full time job and requires love, inclusivity, care and thoughtfulness in every dimension of life.
