"Stand firm against the forces of fear. Don’t give in to them for what they offer has no more substance than the shadows from which they are made. Fear seeks to lure you from the solid ground of wisdom and tempts you to get lost in the empty spaces of the human heart. Empty of love. Empty of hope. Stand firm so the bond between us may remain strong, a wall of light against the darkness. Let the calm resolve of our prayers work the mystery of transformation: a balanced center where fear like waves breaks against the rocks and disappears like spray into the brightening air."
---The Rt. Rev. Steven Charleston, Native American/Indigenous Ministries of the Episcopal Church
