The Dragon has arrived. It is a time of rising reflection and collective action. We are expectant.

As we wait for Way to Open we wait expectantly for how and with whom we will engage in co creating
new testimony. We cultivate practices in which we aspire anew to live into SPICES. A Friends SPICE of justice,

Courage and cultivating Peace. Concern for Ministry of ecological transhumanism

We listen with our hearts open to new sense and conditions.

Let’s offer a quote for 2024 from French-born Quaker missionary, Stephen Grellet.

Grellet speaking on opportunities we have and prosper with, offers favor over action as we walk into a world
looking forward, reflecting on, kindness to build safe and sacred space; in Grace, Faith, Worship together.
All our appreciation to Micah MacColl Nicholson of FCNL who asked us to please consider the queries below.

“I shall pass this way but once; any good that I can do or any kindness I can show to any human
being; let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” – Stephen Grellet

Queries:

How do you hold individual or collective moments of kindness?

Do you have some speaking out to you from inside our past year? How?

Do you see emerging ways to prioritize acts of kindness in 2024 year?
