Every journey begins before the boat, before the border, before the leaving. It begins in the place that became unsafe, or unlivable, or simply somewhere a future could no longer be imagined – or somewhere a different future called. Migration is not a single event. It is a long unfolding – a negotiation between what was carried and what must be let go, a tension between the experiences held in the body and the experiences required to survive.
We proclaim the interconnected web of existence but how do we live it? Interdependence is not just a truth – it’s a call to action. It means recognizing that our liberation is bound up with others’, that care is collective, and that our faith must move beyond words into relationship, mutual aid, and justice. This month, we reflect on what it means to embody interdependence not just as belief, but as a daily spiritual and ethical practice.
We start where all life begins: our sacred breath. Every culture carries stories that shaped their answers to the deepest human questions. Who are we? Where do we come from? What binds us together? How a people understand the origin of life shapes their relationship to everything else: law, land, family, and the sacred.
