COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Navigating a difficult climate is always better when you know what you need to know--and know you are not alone.
We gathered expert and support agencies from throughout the state to provide direction, answer questions and give support so that those impacted can make the best decisions.
Pride Sunday
Wild Geese by Mary Oliver
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
​
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhle the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
​
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting...
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
