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: Ephesians 4:25

“Experiencing the heart connection and power that responds outwardly through acts of beauty, truth, goodness, and healing, we release ourselves from what usually directs our actions. As we are guided by Christ within, we will increasingly recognize that of God in each person we encounter.” –Bob Henry, Fruit of the Vine

Query: Are you beginning to see that of God in those around you?


If I remember to love you,

if I remember that that is the job

of seeing you through and helping you over,

I see what woo really means now.

I get to woo you,

court you,

entice you

to the brink,

the end of days,

to the good goodbye.

–Peg Edera, from “The Wooing” in Love Is Deeper Than Distance
