Awakening the Goodness Within Us

With the world on fire, war raging, and too many injustices playing out to count, Joni Mitchell gave us a reason to hope again. So says L.A. Times writer Mary McNamara.  Joni, who is 78 years old and recovering from a brain aneurysm, performed at the Newport Folk Festival, her first performance in many years. Not a dry eye…. Catch her  here.
“Let love be genuine; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Be ardent in spirit. Rejoice in hope.” - Romans 12:9-12
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I give thanks for the beautiful voices of hope and devotion in the world – for every songbird, poet, and mystic. May their love songs awaken the goodness within us all and inspire us in ways of kindness and generosity. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
