Lammas. One of the calendar’s thin places, when we feel the light moving—reminding me that light is the most incredible thing. When I grow up & go elsehow, I hope to turn into light. One of the things I love about Quaker practice is our holding vulnerable things in the Light.

Dappled light reflected in a still green creek. Ripples spreading outward in one small spot. Shadows of leaves on old paving. Shadows of tall grass and seeds on cracked tarmac. Shadows of leafy branches, peppered with fallen gold leaves, on a paved path.

My mom took a picture of this exhibit showing tin horns people along the Underground Railroad blew to warn others when slave catchers were seen in the area, along with a description that will sound awful familiar to many of us with ICE whistles now

It was a custom with us, when a horn was blown at an unusual hour, to proceed to the spot promptly to see what was the matter...My wife then went down on her knees, and, drawing her head and body below the range of the window, the horn resting on the sill, blew blast after blast, while the shots poured thick and fast around her.
