On this special occasion, we invite you to explore the thought-provoking poem 'Transfiguration' written by Martha Keys Barker, which commemorates the significance of Nagasaki Day.
The Poem: 'Transfiguration'
In the realms of literature, poetry often serves as a powerful medium to convey emotions, stories, and reflections, enabling readers to delve deep into the human experience and find connections with their own lives. 'Transfiguration' holds a significant place in our hearts as it captures the essence of Nagasaki Day through the heartfelt words of Martha Keys Barker.
Healing, transforming, ever more than enough. Transfiguration is taking us to the next step. Holding each other’s hands held by God, alive with love’s life; Blessing each other, bless me indeed as a helper! Love tenderizes and heals all sick, softens and enlightens all loveless. Unconditional love brewed, overflowing with peace and joy
