Thank you, Evan, for your words today! As I sought to answer your question about how I might be an advocate for the voiceless or afraid, I thought of the abandoned and abused and relinquished animals at the no-kill shelter where I volunteer each week. And that in caring for them, I can help be an advocate for their precious lives and their vital dignity. And that extends into all of Creation - the voiceless ones like air, water, endangered species, those facing environmental racism - that is where I seek to advocate, bring justice, and make peace. And reminders such as yours are essential. Thank you.
