  • In a living room with a lit Christmas tree and gifts, a woman sits with closed eyes, slumped, with her hand on her forehead as if she's disappointed or frustrated.

  • A patch of asphalt with a crack running through it, and a beige-colored bandage applied over one piece of the crack.

  • A low-angle view of the gray paving stones on a street. The stones are foreshortened vertically, so we see two dozen or so rows of them, each row containing three or four stones. The stones are rough-hewn and of varying shades of gray.
    ...we don’t know, can’t anticipate...the paths, unexpected, that open before us.

  • A black-and-white photo of an older person carrying a heavy bucket uphill on a dark-colored road next to a whitewashed stucco wall. The person is wearing sandals and a calf-length sleeveless dress made of a diamond-patterned fabric. They are stooped over and walking away from the camera, so all that can be seen of their head is some curly grey hair. They are carrying the bucket with their left arm, and their right arm is bent with the hand at their right hip.
    We don’t have to impress or convince or win over. We don’t have to know the words. It’s okay we didn’t read the book, or pass that class, or carry that title, or meet that mark. We don’t have to be anything but who we are.

  • In a darkened room, a child with light brown skin and short straight black hair sits at a window that is splattered with raindrops. The child is wearing a red garment of some sort, and is holding their hand out near the window with their right index finger extended. Outside the window, all we can see is a green blur suggesting plants or trees.
    An interactive, cooperative process of creating a prayer of lament.

  • Rev. Lindasusan, a person of color, stretches out their arm to reveal their tattoo by James Chase: a dandelion going to seed, with its scattered seeds spelling the word L I B E R A T I O N
    What if each of us made a lifetime commitment to get free and to bring others with us?

  • A flurry of red sparks against the background of a black sky. The camera’s shutter speed was set so that each spark leaves a red trail along its path, so the image looks almost like many red pieces of straw in the air, all aligned more or less in the same direction.
    Yule is a time to rest and settle into the darkness.

  • A black-and-white image of three Polaroid photographs, slightly overlapping one another, on a wooden table with visible grain. The faded and slightly blurry photos look like they are casual shots of a few people sitting on risers in a high-school or college gym, and they give the impression of having been taken long ago.
    A ritual for honoring and remembering beloved ancestors and the recently departed, with roots in both the Christian and Pagan traditions.

  • A single dandelion inflorescence held up against the background of an out-of-focus horizon and sky.
    The flames did not show the whole path, but by their light we saw each other and knew we did not travel alone.

    White supremacy culture tells me that I’m only "good" if I’m perfect, treating all falls as hard stops.
