Thursday of Lent I - Division

Written By Brian Suntken

Each of you, a bordered country,

Delicate and strangely made proud,

Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.

Your armed struggles for profit

Have left collars of waste up on

My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.

Yet today I call you to my Riverside,

If you will study war no more.

Maya Angelou, On the Pulse of Morning, 1993

It’s my sixtieth trip around the sun this year. I share some wisdom, some photography, some poetry and prayers for the journey ahead.
