No Safe Harbor for Hate

“This is a time for this country to come together. There can never be any safe harbor for hate in America. The battle for the soul of this nation is a tug of war between the American ideal that we’re all created equal, and the harsh reality that racism has long torn us apart. We cannot leave this moment and think our work is done. We must not turn away. We must listen to the words of George Floyd, ‘I can’t breathe.’ We can’t let those words die with him.” – Joe Biden
“To those who live life beautifully and magnificently adorned in the skin of all the varied hues encompassed in the concept of black, brown, indigenous, and people of color. I see you. I love you. Your life has always mattered. Today feels healing, and it's only a beginning.”– Rafe Ellis, minister of Sierra Center for Spiritual Living
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I abide in a loving awareness of Oneness, honoring the interconnection of life, respecting all my sisters and brothers. I have the consciousness and heart to daily practice anti-racism by making choices, speaking clearly, voting, and taking action that reflect the equity and unity of our divine Being-ness. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
