The rector shares an excerpt from poet Adrienne Rich’s “Natural Resources”:

“My heart is moved by all I cannot save:
so much has been destroyed
I have to cast my lot with those
who age after age, perversely,
with no extraordinary power,
reconstitute the world.”

 
…and asks the question: “Who are those people in your life?”

It would be an exotic moment
without rush, without engines,
we would all be together
in a sudden strangeness.
 

Fishermen in the cold sea
would not harm whales
and the man gathering salt
would look at his hurt hands.
—from “Keeping Quiet,” by Pablo Neruda
