Member Appreciation 🙏🏽
Have you noticed our beautiful little library box in front of our building? This creation has truly been a community effort. Barn Barnard donated a bunch of wood before he and Annie moved to Salem. Jim Pasmore hauled the wood in his truck and paid for the extra lumber that was needed. Jim Loughrie built it. Clare Kubota paid for the paint, using Laura Jasinek’s discount and painted the blue part. Diane Leverick painted the mural on the back. Rev. Jane found the boxes of books from our old library at the Grange, and John Hellar and Chris Tippets carried them from the shed and stacked them in the box. And the books themselves were donated back in the Grange days by many, many people! Now it’s complete, so help yourself to books and feel free to leave any spiritual books (as long as there is room on the shelf!) for others to appreciate.
THE BROKEN PIECES
By Donna Benjamin
Let us fix the broken pieces
Glue them back together so they stick
The vase will be whole again
Our intention is wholeness
Beauty
Surrender
So let us fix the broken pieces
Find the right adhesive
The right words
The right actions
So that we may thrive in joy
Not suffering
Let us fix the broken pieces
They are all around us
Almost everywhere we turn
We can sweep them aside
But then they remain broken
So let us fix the broken pieces
The shards
The slivers
The cracks
Place them together again
So that they may join together
In Unity of the whole
Let us fix the broken pieces
Including our hearts
That cry out for comfort
For kindness
For sanity
Weave a web of healing
Let us fix the broken pieces
They are so worthy of our attention
And mending skills
Our inner knowing on how to heal
We know this
We got this
Let us fix the broken pieces
