• The Liturgists “Pale Blue Dot”
  From the Liturgists website:

  In this episode Science Mike and Michael Gungor talk about the psychological shift that comes with seeing the Earth from space with Guy Reid and Jacob Marshall. We also spoke with climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe about the science behind climate change, and what we can do to protect life on this planet.

• Carl Sagan, “Pale Blue Dot”

We have born ashes during this journey, and now we embrace the mercy of grace which says from the beginning all I have is yours. These depths of mercy call us out of our striving and into the absurdity of being known and loved. We have learned that there is beauty is darkness and quiet. There is value is stillness and waiting. There is abundance in ashes.

We are here, at the end of this journey. I pray that this has been a season of letting the stuff of you break down into rich, loamy soil. Leave a blessing below.
