Isaiah 40:28-31
“There is always the impulse to restore the past or escape to a more promising place. But when so much is lost, building something new is where God usually calls us humans to make life right where we are. Building something new means letting some things go. Building something new means not being afraid of the inner apocalypse each of us needs to have to find our place in this emerging newness, in the present moment, in where we are right now.
The best thing we can do in times like these is to pool our resources–they actually go further and we can do more to mitigate the harm of extreme wealth disparities when we invest in systems of mutual aid and collective resource sharing.”
