Vigil : being awake, watchful, devoted especially during times of darkness, suffering and uncertainty.
Over the past 4 years, a groundswell of diverse, dedicated people have kept watch over NY’s future and well be-ing… working together to keep water, land, air and all species safe from hydro-fracking. We have engaged in hard, heartfelt political struggle, locally through nationally. And still we wait.
Keep Vigil Together is a time to pause and be still, a time to touch the depth and meaning of this struggle… a struggle for shared survival, a struggle to respect the vital interconnectedness of all life. Keep Vigil Together is a time to cultivate strength of spirit, either in solitude or with others.
Whether you breathe, pray, meditate, walk, chant or sing… in myriad ways and traditions, together we will send out clear, loving intentions for the well being of the earth and all beings.
