Dear Ones,

It’s been a busy week already, and so I offer you a spacious opportunity to think about how resistance can be a positive value in your life. French philosopher Albert Camus provides this wisdom for your contemplation: “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” What makes you free, in the face of a society and a culture that wants to constrain you? How comfortable are you considering yourself a rebel? I am here on this journey of affirmation and resistance with you, as you remember that you are loved, you are worthy, you are welcome, and you are needed. May you feel it so and may it be so.

Blessings and warm wishes, Rev. Rita
