The way we spend our most valuable asset, time, indicates what we value. Some may argue that money is a more genuine indicator; however, I speculate that it is merely an illusionary act that is a façade to the deeper reality of our care. We distract ourselves from what is true so we may continue living in false comfort and convenience. As the world becomes increasingly unstable, I encourage you to ground yourself in a community that indulges in reality and truth. When fragile economies, food systems, and social structures deteriorate, all we have are relationships built on committed love. May we equip ourselves with wisdom for the trials we should proactively engage in to avoid deeper wounding of the people and places we care for most.
