"While the news shows us the loudest acts of evil from a few - the masses go about quietly doing good. Trying to take care of each other. Making sure that in our immediate and global communities, as often as possible - Love Wins. So, without further ado... I bring you today's GOOD NEWS, brought to you by our friends at CWS."
"The Fire Girl Speaks" by Shelby Grosser.
"Recently I have experienced a frustrating amount of cat-calling and inappropriate statements from men in my city. None of these have been of a threatening nature, but nevertheless it's rather infuriating to be regularly objectified. One day in particular I decided to let out my frustration into some poetry. Thus emerged The Fire Girl Speaks. It's a bit of a spoken word piece, so perhaps I'll record it at some point, but for now, here are the words."
"When Prayer Becomes Control" by Cindy Brandt.
"We imagine alternative situations not with dogmatic certainty, but with hopeful possibilities. We don't pray against diseases, tragedies, and pain, we call forth new ways of living in spite of suffering. We pray not to explain the why, but to discover the how. We pray with song and dance. We use our voices and bodies to move with grace, to inflict beauty in a world of pain. Prayer creates space and expands room for all expressions of love."
"When Words Fail" by Benjamin Moberg.
"Art drew the pool of my mental energy to one corner of my mind, the artsy part, and in that move, it left the anxious and depressed parts to starve in some dark corner. It was an escape from life because, yes, sometimes you just need to escape for a season. And in that escape, in that wordless season, I unknowingly found God. I can only see him there in retrospect."
"the necessity of little w weddings" by the beautiful due.
"TIL DEATH DO US PART.
There's big D Death, the one
thought of when vowing
during the big W Wedding.
But equally vital are the little d deaths."
