First Brothers and Sisters of Daily Kos 4 - in the midst of the birth pangs...
Welcome to Brothers and Sisters, the weekly meetup for prayer* and community at
Daily Kos. We put an asterisk on "pray" to acknowledge that not everyone uses
conventional religious language, but may want to share joys and concerns, or
simply take solace in a meditative atmosphere. Anyone who comes in the spirit
of mutual respect, warmth and healing is welcome.
One beginning -
What potential lies ahead? What is waiting to be birthed? In what expectation do we stand?
When we start anew, are we really starting, or are we continuing?
One beginning -
In the beginning,
there was the Word;
the Word was in God's presence,
and the Word was God.
The Word was present to God
from the beginning.
Through the Word
all things came into being
and apart from the Word
nothing came into being
that has come into being.
In the Word was life,
and that life was humanity's light -
a Light that shines in the darkness,
a Light that the darkness has never overtaken.
John 1
In the midst of turmoil, anxiety, of problems that overwhelm, what Light shines through?
In the midst of words that divide, hurt, and end, what Word begins anew?
