Meditation by Rev. Diane Rollert, 19 January 2010
Truth to power –
Earth, you surprise us with your crushing strength.
We forget that we are insignificant to you,
as you move and change
and shake our existence into ruins.
Yet people rise up,
the people of Haiti rise up.
People everywhere, rise up,
out of the rubble, out of the dust,
with faces of courage
and determination to go on.
Hands reach out to save and heal,
to love the sunlight and the stars,
to act out stories of transformation,
to trust despite the impermanence that is life.
Truth to power –
We will rebuild.
We will always rebuild.
