Women, dancing change

Fick läsa (samt tillstånd att publicera) en dikt som skrevs till en av de kvinnor som vigdes till diakon i Chicago i lördags. Till dikten hör en bild som ni hittar ifall ni googlar på ett foto kallat "Dancers" av Dennis Deloria.

***

Women, dancing change
bold, persistent, courageous
holding hands for balance.

Women creating future-time
grandmothers opening doors
daughters crossing thresholds.

Women in science, business, religion
mothers, teachers, poets, preachers
following a call, pursuing a dream.

Many ways, each one different
all are valued, all are celebrated
all are women dancing change.
