This Day: Visit us each day for a contemplative experience – an image, a Scripture reading, a quotation from Fruit of the Vine, a query, and a poem-prayer. On Saturday each week, we will feature an excerpted Quaker testimony. On Sunday each week, we will offer a Scripture reading, historic Quaker quotation, questions for consideration, and a personal essay from the Illuminate lesson for that week.

Scripture: Exodus 2:5–10

“If empathy is defined as ‘an action taken because of a sensitivity to the experience and feelings of another,’ then our story is a wonderful example of empathy-in-motion.” –Patricia Thomas, Fruit of the Vine

Query: How open are you to both love and be loved? Have you ever practiced empathy-in-motion? Have you ever experienced it?


The Wind

The wind asks for nothing—

it sweeps in,

sweeps clean,

empties,

frees.

God, you are wind

and an always new beginning.

–Carol Bialock, Coral Castles
