Alone
On February 23, 2020, Becky Kennedy-Lange closed meeting reading Maya Angelou’s Alone.
Alone
Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
There are some millionaires
With money they can't use
Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They've got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone.
But nobody
No, nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
'Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
Valley Hosted the Haverford Quarter - January 26, 2020
After a productive Meeting for Business which discussed the possible positions that we as Quakers may take when the government announces the new Selective Service Regulations, we continued in silence to Meeting for Worship.
Following Worship there was a discussion led by EQAT (Earth Quaker Action Team) presenting recent actions against PECO dirty energy development projects in economically depressed neighborhoods in the Philadelphia area.
Lunch with lots of Friendly discussion and fellowship as well as good food followed.
