From “The Night is Long but Light Comes in the Morning: Meditations for Racial Healing” by Catherine Meeks
The house is on fire, and it’s time to stop standing around debating which fire extinguisher is best; it’s time to pick one up and begin working to put the blaze out before the house burns to the ground. This book of meditations on racial healing offers one such tool. We have arrived at the place in our shared journey where we are allowing conspiracy theories, distortions of history, fear, and outright lies about race and many other cultural challenges to determine the quality of our lives together. These are damaging and will continue to fuel the fire – until we choose to stop it.
