“…suddenly you flare in my sight,

a wild rose blooming at the edge of a thicket,

grace and light where yesterday was only shade,

and once more I am blessed, choosing again what I chose before”

                                                                                        Wendell Berry, The Wild Rose

Wildflowers grow where they are least expected, in the most unlikely places. They blossom out of dark soil and the toughest roots. Able to flourish even in the most broken places. they are strong enough to rise again after being trampled upon, and tough enough to weather the worst of the summer storms. Like the wildflowers that sing our resilience, we will turn our faces to the light, reflect on the mystery of our stories, and delight in the wisdom and grace we hold together. The day will include insights on the moral injury we know in our experience, and time to be immersed in Cranaleith’s springtime color. Poetry and a simple art exercise will accompany us.
