What could help us remember,
through all the noise and violence of the day,
the confusion and sadness of the broken world
raging all around us,
what could help us remember
that this world is also
resplendent and resilient and inviting and durable
and filled with hope –
all the things you want a child to trust:
that every day, as the poet says,
ordinary miracles begin again…
– Rev. Victoria Safford, “The Strength of a Lullaby”
