Rachel Naomi Remen: The Only Hope For the Next Thousand Years

May we find each other in the silence between 

the words. May we heal the loneliness 

of our expertise with the wisdom

of our service.

 

 May we honor in ourselves and all others

the deep and simple impulse to live,

to find sacred space and open land.

 

May we remember that the yearning

to be holy is a part of everyone

and the only hope for the

next thousand years.
