Celebrate diversity

Here at Baines-Ball & Associates we celebrate diversity and aim to learn more each day about how we inadvertently cause injury to those we know less about. Together we are stronger. 

It’s a difficult time in the world for many people for many reasons. Though there are complexities in most situations, I believe firmly in curiosity and compassion both to self and others to heal wounds and repair relationships. 

Adapted from Trans Prayer by Laurie Wolfe

This is the season

for my body to catch up with

my soul.

In this, I rejoice.

Still, my spirit cries for peace.

May I heal  in this time of renewal.

May I find community,

those who welcome me and invite me to their table.

When I doubt my existence,

May I be affirmed.

When there is violence,

may I find serenity.

When I am treated with unkindness,

may I be kind.

When I am hated,

may I return to love.

When I am set apart,

may I include.

When others judge me,

may I be solid.

And when I have doubt,

may I find certainty

May I always

dwell in  peace,

love

understanding,

Light and wisdom in my heart.
