Today, we welcome 'Lessons in the Leaves' as we Sankofa (SAHN-koh-fah) with open hands + contemplative hearts, going back to get what is precious, even as we step forward.


A Holy Haiku - Lessons in the Leaves


Whispering branches

Playful rustle in green leaves

Listen, lessons, live.


Amen + Asé



Reflection for Your Journey


What in nature whispers to you, inviting you into play? How might you more deeply honor its invitation today?


Perhaps the unfurling of a monstera leaf teaches you to playfully begin your day with a slow, mindful stretch. Imagine yourself as a leaf unfurling—start with your body curled in, then gradually extend your arms + open your chest—noticing your breath as you feel each movement as a gentle release, honoring your natural rhythm + pace.


For May's Mental Health Awareness Month, affirm: "Through empathy, I/we return to our belovedness + reclaim in the spirit of Sankofa, to go back and get it, by the enablement of the Holy Spirit”
