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: Psalms 51:10

“Relationships require trustworthiness, integrity, and sensitivity. Can you imagine what happens to a relationship when this is not the case? When someone takes advantage of your trust or doesn’t act with integrity, it’s a little bit like stealing. And it can be hugely destructive.” –Maurice Roberts, Fruit of the Vine

Query: How do you honor God through your relationships?


The Veil Between

We breathe their bones

and their anointed bodies linger

at our feet,

flame out in flowers,

grow tall in trees

and throw their vines around our homes.

They love us still:

the veil between us is thin.

–Carol Bialock, Coral Castles
