Greetings… I am sure you are as concerned as I am with the violence in Iran. I am moved daily by the people’s call for justice and eveyone’s voice to be heard. My life is moved profoundly by their efforts to achieve what we enjoy daily. Let us pray for peace and justice… for the Iranian people. Blessings… Rev. Brolin

To Hear One Another
The ringing of a bell calls us to worship.
The pounding of a drum calls us to war.
The popping of a cork calls us to celebration.
What is the sound that calls us to hear one another?
Listen.. Listen carefully…
It is here, in the silence…..Listen deeply…..
The beating of our own hearts call us to ourselves:
Calls us to be our true selves;
Calls us to be our best selves;
Calls us to be what we might become.
Listen… there is another sound….
The breath of our neighbor calls us outside ourselves;
Calls us to be companions;
Calls us to be allies;
Calls us to be partners.
Listen.. we must heed the call of our own hearts,
Where love and truth, caring and justice, are born.
Listen.. we must heed the call of others,
To gather together for some great purpose,
Where passion and fidelity compassion and equity are nourished.
The hammering silence calls us together
That we may do God’s work that we cannot do alone.
Let us heed the calls that come in the silence,
That we may be well,
And do good.
In God’s creation together. Amen and Amen.
Blessings,
Rev. Brolin
