Sojourners Verse and Voice – 17 September 2021

Verse of the day
As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.

– Genesis 8:22

Voice of the day
My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.

– Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed(1974)

Prayer of the day Help us to respect the rights of all people and all species and help us to willingly share your gifts today and always.
– Fiona Murdoch
