On QuakerSpeak, a really sweet and inspiring video from Avis Wanda McClinton. It centers on a Friends Victory Garden started as a response to the lives taken by COVID-19 (disproportionally lives of color here in the U.S.) but naturally flows to family history and redlining and then to how she talks with God while tending the plants.
When you’re farming, it’s a solitary thing. Down on my knees, preparing the beds for the plants, I just talked to God as I worked the earth, told him my fears and my worries and what I hope for the future.
There’s a whole lot of wisdom here and video is a great medium for her storytelling.
