“Everything, given time and nurturing, is moving toward balance and healing. The mushrooms that cleaned the land after nuclear trauma… the process of forest growth after a fire… the way our skin heals after a cut… stronger than before. Healing is organizing, healing is our birthright.”
Lisa Thomas Adeyemo, cited in Adrienne Maree Brown’s Emergent Strategy (2017)
God’s shalom includes God’s desire for healing. Healing is a part of God’s economy. Lean in. It is your birthright.
