Did you learn just this past week that the national flower for Ukraine is a sunflower? I did. In support of their country today I am sharing for them.
The Way It Is by William Stafford
There’s a thread you follow. It goes among
things that change. But it doesn’t change.
People wonder about what you are pursuing.
You have to explain about the thread.
But it is hard for others to see.
While you hold it you can’t get lost.
Tragedies happen; people get hurt
or die; and you suffer and get old.
Nothing you do can stop time’s unfolding.
You don’t ever let go of the thread.
I am holding to the thread for each person hurting in this world, but especially today for the people of Ukraine. Send prayers through the thread with love.
We are all connected!
