Admire the Moon

Meditations

Mary Wellemeyer

This UUA meditaton manual for 2004 features forty two selections for worship and personal reflection.

A sample:

Tonight the moon shines bright and full
behind a thin veil of clouds.
The snow is to the south of us,
moving northward along the coast.
The still-thin clouds look lovely,
and I admire the moon.
—from "Constantly in Motion"

Mary Wellemeyer received her master of divinity degree from Andover Newton Theological School. She is parish minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Praise for Admire the Moon:

"'Garlic warms the heart,' writes Mary Wellemeyer, whose poems are less sweet than savory and salted with pungent observation. Admire The Moon has a zest that will warm your insides and leave you hungry for more."
—Reverend Gary Kowalski, First Unitarian Universalist Society of Burlington, Vermont

"Wellemeyer nurtures and challenges the spirits of her readers with her wonderfully chosen words in Admire the Moon. These meditations take less than a minute to read but they will touch you in ways that will remain long after you ponder them. That is time well spent, I'd say."
—Stephen D. Edington, Minister, Unitarian Universalist Church of Nashua, New Hampshire
