Letter from Grace

Dear queerly beloved community,

We were not created to be broken. We were not created to be a fragmented and violently splintered community. Our destiny is love and connection. This is what our bones long for. Our bodies know the truth even if our minds fall prey to the false narratives offered by capitalism, white Christian nationalism, and our own histories. We are meant to be whole — each and every one of us. And we’re meant to be whole — all of us, together, in and with creation.

The road is as broken and treacherous as we are in this chapter of our world. Perhaps we need to journey beyond the boundaries we’ve set for ourselves. It is time for us to follow the path that leads to who we truly are and who we have always been: whole and holy, beautifully beloved and loving. It takes gratitude, intention, creativity, and curiosity to find our way again. It takes courage and hope to understand where we’ve been and go where we must go. Together we must ground ourselves in Earth and our bodies and beloved community. We are the constellations of our celestial navigation home. Our destiny is within.

With hope and love,

Grace
