Beauty Is Our Birthright
Sometimes we awake in the morning, and weβd rather go back to sleepβ¦ And then, the first sliver of sunshine may dance across our face.
"Sometimes we awake in the morning, and weβd rather go back to sleep," notes Rev. Rebekah Savage, "And then...signs of life blossom around us. Beautiful.
To love; To nurture beauty is to return to our essence..
May beauty wrap and delight us, and guide our way."

Letting the Story Speak
The old story of the nativity speaks to us anew
"Beasts of the stall, accidental witnesses...
Remind us to be good and sturdy companions to those
with whom we happen to be thrown together in this life."

Blanket Fort Prayer
Meet me in the heartbeat between what has been and what will be; meet me in the flicker of our eternal flame. We need not face this moment alone.
Thank you to @hprivers.bsky.social for their "Blanket Fort Prayer."
"...bring the glitter in your pocket
and the sparkle in your smile,
...set down your very bravest face.

We Are Still Grateful
And still, we are grateful.
"...And still, we are grateful," writes Rev. Connie Simon. "Grateful for our families and friends. Grateful for another and the opportunity to begin again in love to address our differences and mend our relationships..."

The Great Turning
As we light this chalice, we kindle the spirit of the great turning: the movement for justice alive in this nation today.
We gather, says @revlisa.bsky.social , "to remember who we are, who we belong to, and what we are called to do.
We kindle the spirit of the great turning:
the movement for justice alive in this nation today...."

Courageous Connection
There are many ways to connect.
Today in Braver/Wiser, @uurevjo.bsky.social reminds us that "There are many ways to be angry, and to seek out differences with the people around us. There are also many ways to love and to find joy; so many opportunities to regard life from a different perspective."
