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: Luke 13:10–16

“Let the gentle hand of Jesus set you free, and look into his loving eyes, seeing everything and everyone as he sees them.” –Fruit of the Vine

Query: What are you thankful for today?


Early Morning Meditation

encircle and stare,

surface searing with points blurred

together into marquees proclaiming

Dignity, Value, Truth

Humans lit up

through layering

epidermis of doubt, fear—

Inner Light peeking

and I know everything

will be alright

–Joann Renee Boswell, from “Pronoia:” in Cosmic Pockets
