The sacred manifests in the flesh of the earth
While the world aches for transformation and healing, God is not a distant observer but an enfleshed presence at the margins, in the soil, in chaos and quiet, in pleasure and pain. The Divine is intimately entangled with all aspects of our collective life: The material. The political. The intimate. The sensual. The struggle. The places where they all meet.
With this assurance, enfleshed creates and facilitates spiritual resources for learning and unlearning dominance in belief and practice. As the Spirit, tender and fierce, calls us all to courage, enfleshed hopes to provide sources of deep spiritual nourishment for the work of collective liberation before us.

An Uncommonly Lucky Surprise
By Eréndira Jimenez Esquinca There is a funny feeling about this sunshiny, blue sky, green-treed winter that I can’t seem to shake… On the second day of December, I went to the park and as I laid on my blanket, looking up at the sky, enjoying the sun warming my...
In truth and trust
The last tomato of the season is shivering on the dying vine. The marigolds, too, fading from first frost. Cabbage worms are devouring final remains of collards and kale. A diminished red blossom drops to the earth as the geranium is carried from front porch to...

![Alongside our latest print publication, HELD: blessings for the depths, we are pleased to share a collection of additional submissions in an online addendum to the book. Today's feature is a blessing from by Rev. Marie Alford-Harkey. You can view the whole library at the link in our bio. This is a blessing for people who love certainty
And can’t find any
For people who crave order
And are living in our disordered world
For people who want to know what’s next
And have absolutely no idea This blessing doesn’t ask you to figure it all out
It doesn’t need your “pretend to be fine” face
Or your grimacing, gripping, “I will get through this” This blessing invites you to relax into the universe
to admit that you can’t control – well – damn near anything
to find your people – the ones who can bear the truth
to find your animals, your plants, and your poetry. This blessing is for now. The in-between.
This blessing is for you. You are enough.
Even when you feel like you are failing.
(By the way, you are not.
You are absolutely killing it at being human.)
It is for you in your wild, beautiful authenticity.
You do not have to do one damn thing to earn it.
That is not how blessings work.
This blessing is pure grace, a reminder
that you are created out of stardust and love.
