One Love

       By the Rev. Dr. Hope Johnson
We are one,
A diverse group
Of proudly kindred spirits
Here not by coincidence--
But because we choose to journey—together.

We are active and proactive
We care deeply
We live our love, as best we can.

We ARE one
Working, Eating, Laughing,
Playing, Singing, Storytelling, Sharing and Rejoicing.
Getting to know each other,
Taking risks
Opening up.
Questioning, Seeking, Searching…
Trying to understand…
Struggling…
Making Mistakes
Paying Attention…
Asking Questions
Listening…
Living our Answers
Learning to love our neighbors
Learning to love ourselves.

Apologizing and forgiving with humility
Being forgiven, through Grace.
​
Creating the Beloved Community—Together
We are ONE.

Announcing Thirty Days of Hope

9/7/2021

Inspired by the life and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Hope Johnson, our co-founder, president emerita, and friend who was born in Jamaica on September 7th, the Living Legacy Project Board has declared September 7 to October 6, 2021 as Thirty Days of Hope. We would like to engage with you in a conversation about hope, resilience, and the spirit to keep on, keepin' on. How do we work to change the world in the face of so much adversity? How do we renew our spirits, find new energy, and heal what needs to be healed, so we tackle the next project, the latest issue, the largest need?

This experiment in hope won't work without your participation. Over the next thirty days, we invite you to share your thoughts, resources, ideas, images, songs, stories, poetry, and artwork with the Living Legacy community. We would like to hear whatever it is that gives you hope.

​We hope (see what we did there?) you'll join the conversation!  Watch for a way to engage each day!
