Dear UUSS~

It is quiet in our neighborhood on this Tuesday afternoon. The sky has grown thick with clouds, and the first tiny, barely perceptible flakes of snow are beginning to fall. We know that more is coming. We are grateful for the protection that our home provides, for warm clothes and heat and for plenty of food. These are no small things. We want all to have a place to live, utilities and clothing, food to eat, and access to physical and mental health care. Thank you, to those who were able to contribute to the Congregation and Community fund on Christmas Eve… and thank you to those courageous enough to ask for support. These are such challenging times, and we need one another. This month we have been exploring collective liberation. One aspect of collective liberation is equity. We are not seeking equality, when all have the same, but rather, equity, when all have what they need.

As we sing in hymn #1031, inspired by the Buddhist meta-meditation, “May you be filled with loving kindness. May you be well. May you be peaceful and at ease. May you be whole.”

In faith~
