\nWe can be invitations to one another, showing one another ways of being courageous, or ways of being loving, or ways of relating to others that we\u2019d never imagined before. What might it be for us to stay open to one another in this way? To learn from one another in everything, and to see one another as living beacons of what might be possible - on the scale of the everyday (how we wash the dishes; how we get ready to leave the house), and on the biggest scale (how we move through transitions; discovering what\u2019s worth committing to)?

\nThe Appointment
\n
\nWhat if, on the first sunny day,
\non your way to work, a colorful bird
\nsweeps in front of you down a
\nstreet you\u2019ve never heard of.
\n
\nYou might pause and smile,
\na sweet beginning to your day.
\n
\nOr you might step into that street
\nand realize there are many ways to work.
\n
\nYou might sense the bird knows some-
\nthing you don\u2019t and wander after.
\n
\nYou might hesitate when the bird
\nturns down an alley. For now
\nthere is a tension: Is what the
\nbird knows worth being late?
\n
\nYou might go another block or two,
\nthinking you can have it both ways.
\nBut soon you arrive at the edge
\nof all your plans.
\n
\nThe bird circles back for you
\nand you must decide which
\nappointment you were
\nborn to keep.
