Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Seeking Shelter: A Story of Faith, Place, and Resistance

~~~~~

At land’s end

where this house dares stand

and the sea turns in sleep

ponderous, menacing

and our spirit fails and runs

landward, seaward, askelter

we pray you, protect

from the law’s clawed outreach

from the second death

from envy’s tooth

from death’s great knell

all who dwell here.

- Daniel Berrigan
