Howard Thurman was mentioned during our time together at Quarterly Meeting. Here are two quotations of his that always stimulate reflections and learning for me:
In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair.
Community cannot for long feed on itself; it can only flourish with the coming of others from beyond, their unknown and undiscovered brothers.

This quotation, hanging in the Wilmington Friends School Meeting Room, sparked reflection and inspired ministry during worship shared by Friends from Western and Concord Quarters.
