Better late than never…this week’s query!

An verse from “Box of Rain” by the Grateful Dead:

Walk out of any doorway
Feel your way, feel your way like the day before
Maybe you’ll find direction
Around some corner where it’s been waiting to meet you

Today's query:

Be not content to accept things as they are, but keep an alert, sensitive, and questioning mind.

Understand and maintain Friends' witness for truth, simplicity, and non-violence, holding up your personal life to these testimonies.

Encourage inclusivness and discourage discrimination. Cherish diversity.
