As we look at so much in the world that seems broken, chaotic, and harsh, it can feel overwhelming. Being aware of the brokenness can help us practice compassion-for those who are suffering and for ourselves as we bear witness.

And, there are ways to also view the world and notice what is beautiful, whole, maybe even holy, caring, and loving. People are still making art-including art to resist cruelty. People are still falling in love. Folks are still protecting and caring for their neighbors like the good folks of MN. People are still building beloved community like here at UUSS. Being aware of the wholeness can help us practice joy-for the many gifts this life has to offer.

It was so good to sing at worship on Sunday, letting so many of our voices weave together in new songs of hope and affirmation. In this broken and beautiful world, may we find our way to wholeness together.

Still we will love,
Rev. Lynn and Rev. Wendy
