Reflection

“I can’t understand why people are afraid of new ideas. I’m afraid of the old ones.” –John Cage

Prayer

Creative spirit,

Give us the courage to welcome new ideas, as well as the wisdom to evaluate their promise. Let us avoid being resistant to change while embracing a spirit of openness, giving you freedom to lead us in the way of your spirit, which blows where it will. For the sake of the many and diverse needs that call us to action today, help us learn the best way to unite our compassion with a willingness to innovate and forge a path forward, so we can continue to bring good help to the patients and families and communities we serve. With gratitude for how you’ve brought us this far. Amen.

Call to Action

Spend some time in meditation today, releasing myself from skepticism towards new ways of doing things. Practice being open to new ideas.
