This is my favorite piece of yours I've read, Jonathan. Thanks for giving me a little hope today, and for giving some (more!) meaning to one of my very favorite Star Wars scenes.
As always, great reflection, Jonathan. This reminded me of a really inspiring sermon I read/watched recently by Matthew Taylor, who's a scholar at ICJS (Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies in Towson) . " Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do, when you have no political power, is to live by a set of values that exposes the lie of the empire."

Thanks Grace! I’m glad it resonated. I love this scene and have been in need of a little hope myself.

Thank you Amelia! And I love that quote. I’m going to be reflecting on that. Thanks for sharing. I’m not familiar with Matthew Taylor or the ICJS.
Best yet! Great reflection and several one-liners, too. Thanks for this!
Thanks Jody! That means a lot.
