To 20th century theologian Henry Nelson Wieman, the ultimate power of humanity is our power to create. As humans, we use the power of creativity, including our powers of imagination, to create meaning by interacting with the world around us in new and different ways.
Engage in creative imagination today.
“My imagination is my lifeline. It has been crucial for my survival. As a child I grew up in a very violent home. My imagination kept my mind safe even when my body wasn’t but it doesn’t stop there. Would we be able to mentally handle all of the hate and fear in this world without a little imagination? Hoping for something better, something new, I stretch my imagination muscle every day.” -Brandi G, a CLF member incarcerated in North Carolina
Stretch your imagination muscle today.
We cultivate imagination not to escape, but to be able to dream of something new in order that we might create a better world.
What do you dream of?
“Love holds you.
Love bears witness to all your inherent dignity and worthiness.
It witnesses how you try, succeed, and fail—and it does not flinch.
Love will not let go.
Love holds all of you.” -Carrie Holley-Hurt
Know that you are held in love today.
“Mystery of mysteries, we are thirsty for justice and bearing witness to grief.
We’re claiming our inherent wholeness, and healing strands of the Great Web.
We are hungry for liberation and cracking ourselves wide open.
We are mourning the dead and fighting for the living.
We’re singing for joy and striving for meaning.
We’re embodying love;
reaching out in love;
acting on Love’s behalf;
and letting that Love wash over us, ebbing and flowing, as it carries and holds us all.
May we do it all over again when the new day comes.” -Erika Hewitt
May you feel love washing over you today.
