So many of us are going through very challenging times. It's not always easy to stay centered in the heart and grounded in love. In the face of daunting stress, fear and uncertainty, to remember love and stay anchored in its embrace can sometimes feel impossibly hard.

Sung by Reba Sigler Lyrics by Amanda Udis-Kessler

From their 2017 album, "All Belong Here," this song is a new kind of call to communion, a call to remember who we are, and how much we are loved, a song that sees God's table as a place where we all belong, and that this whole world is God's table, where we can eat and be filled, where we can drink in the grace.

I wish you warmth, attention, comfort, peace…a sense that nothing, and no-one, is too far.

In our present world today the impact and consequences of Climate Change and Covid 19 have been staggering.

Joy Lau's "Get Out The Vote" music video in collaboration with John Del Cueto, the gospel choir director at Middle Collegiate Church in NYC, using his original music “Hatred We’re Gonna Tear Your Kingdom Down” (adapted from the spiritual "Satan We’re Gonna Tear Your Kingdom Down") with her animation.

This week, I was so inspired by what I wanted to share with you, I made a video so you could "feel" and see the passion behind the words, from my heart to yours.

Covid-19 has separated us from our officially-sanctioned holy places and sacred things.  The members of our church in Los Angeles yearn to get back to our beloved worship space.  But we are seizing this opportunity to turn the church inside out.  We are finding the sacred in the relationships we maintain with each other on computer screens, in the elements of communion we assemble from donuts and crackers and orange juice and coffee, and in the urban, indoor, and natural environments that have become our sanctuaries.

All Lives Matter, but have you seen what my people are going through?

Founded on the film’s themes for how the underground mycelium network heals, sustains and contributes to the regeneration of life on Earth, these songs are designed to help listeners relax, meditate, dream, and create.

When we realized because of COVID19 we couldn’t sing together, we refused to give up the use of music in our Gatherings; it is just too important. So we turned to the only source of music we thought could offer the same experience even if it didn’t involve singing along: YouTube.

Send in a thousand grandmothers They will surely volunteer With their ancient wisdom flowing They will lend a loving ear

Nobody wanna talk about it She used to say I'm too dark, habibi She used to say I'm too thick, habibi But even then she was so thin, habibi

Western standards of beauty currently dominate our world because we still live in the imperial model which continues to colonize and enslave. We resist white supremacy, "western" superiority and colonized ways of thinking and being by LOVING ourselves, generously, beautifully and joyfully in spite of any active or subliminal efforts to make us feel unworthy of love and life.

As a biracial woman (Native American/European), I thought it would be good to take the time to write this song to honor all of my grandmothers (and grandfathers) who were burned alive, drowned alive, raped, beaten and tortured in torture chambers for being so called “witches” and “warlocks”

Gungor featuring Michael and Lisa Gungor perform an acoustic version of "Beautiful Things" from BEAUTIFUL THINGS CD to be released on Feb. 16, 2010 on Brash Music.

I AM MOUNTAIN (Michael Gungor / Lisa Gungor) I am mountain, I am dust Constellations made of us There's glory in the dirt A universe within the sand Eternity within a man   We are ocean, we are mist Brilliant fools who wound and kiss There's beauty in the dirt Wandering in skin and soul Searching, longing for a home   As the light, light Lights up the skies, up the skies We will fight, fight Fight for our lives, for our lives   I am mountain, I am dust Constellations made of us There's mystery in the dirt The metaphors are breaking down We taste the wind and sight is sound   As the light, light Lights up the skies, up the skies We will fight, fight Fight for our lives, for our lives 2x Momentary carbon stories From the ashes Filled with holy ghost Life is here now Breathe it all in Let it all go You are earth and wind

I can lift you lift you lift you lift you lift you So lets get lifted lifted lifted lifted lifted

"We call upon the tonal vibration of the Earth to bring us clarity, vision, and a broadened perspective. We humble ourselves to the power of the planet and ask for guidance through these trying times. As we gather in greater numbers as gentle shepherds of the Earth, and cultivate of our birthright of inner magic, we heal our ancestral wounds and usher in a brand new way to See Sharp."

Growing up as a Christian and an American, I always had a sense that I was on the good team. I was told our country was founded on ideals like freedom and justice for all. I was told our faith in Jesus led us to be the salt and light of the world. We were the sheep, not the goats. We were the ones who welcomed the stranger. Took care of the widow and the orphan.
