There’s a thing that happens in Catholic churches at certain sacraments. They have everyone in the place stretch out their hand, open palm, bless whoever it is being baptized or married or whatever. A single moment of prayer, not enough time for a Quaker to get settled.

The people there are the right people. In that instant, all aligned, every reaching arm
