This is an original work hand carved on linoleum block and hand printed created for the October 2023 Los Angeles Catholic Worker Agitator newspaper.

This quote come from Rev. John Dear, and is rooted in MLK’s quote, “Hope is the final refusal to give up.” We are living in apocalyptic times and we must find out spiritual wells in the desert. We must lean into gratitude, wonder, grief, and joy which unite us, and lean away from anger, sadness, and fear which isolate and separate us.
