Gratitude is easy; I can think of all that I am thankful for... By humility... it means, simply, remembering that I am not in charge, that I do not know what should happen [...] and so I am listening intently."

—Quaker teacher Lucy Faulkner-Gawlinski.

A daily Quaker devotional for the spiritually curious. Nourish your spiritual journey with daily Quaker quotes.

22. Respect the wide diversity among us in our lives and relationships. Refrain from making prejudiced judgments about the life journeys of others. Do you foster the spirit of mutual understanding and forgiveness which our discipleship asks of us? Remember that each one of us is unique, precious, a child of God.

Sunday morning reflection:

And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries the earth if it be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays:
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten;
Every clod feels a stir of might,
An instinct within it that reaches and towers,
And, groping blindly above it for light,
Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers;

Placing poetry at the crossroads of American life since 1910.

We need in every community a group of angelic troublemakers. Bayard Rustin, 1948

"The only place we can rest is in this very moment, living deeply and richly and fully right now, meeting each person and event with an open heart. This is where we have a chance to meet joy, to come home to our breath and our true nature." —Laura Burges
