The moment of prayer is an invitation to be calm in the midst of the tumult of the world and our over-busy lives, to bring together thought and feeling, mind and spirit, and to find some center -- some still point -- of perspective and peace. Here in this sanctuary which has been the home for so...Meditation | By Earl K Holt III | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Connections, GenerosityWorship element

Like pendulums we swing from hunger to hunger -- from hunger for the one great Truth (absolute, eternal, mystical) to hunger for simple, near-in, familiar truths that change as we change, grow as we grow....Meditation | By Don W Vaughn-Foerster | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Balance, SearchingWorship element

Let us take a moment to settle into the silence. Hear and feel your quiet breathing. Hear and feel the quiet of this room and this community of quiet people.

Let us praise those fathers who have striven to balance the demands of work, marriage, and children with an honest awareness of both joy and sacrifice.

Let there always be in the seasons of our lives a time for forgiveness -- for such is being human that we do unto others, as they do unto us, that which needs to be forgiven. There is a saying that "It's easier to forgive our enemies after we've gotten even with them." But is that in truth...Meditation | By Rolfe Gerhardt | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: ForgivenessWorship element

The journeys of our lives are never fully charted. There come to each of us deserts to cross—barren stretches—where the green edge on the horizon may be our destination, or an oasis on our way, or a mirage that beckons only to leave us lost. When fear grips the heart, or despair bows the head,...Prayer | By Margaret A Keip | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Challenge, Earth, Earth-Centered, Fear, Hope, Nature, TransformationWorship element -
In this time of anticipated spring let us allow ourselves to extend the anticipation—to value the time of budding before blooming, of seeding before sprouting.

In the moments when Word is silence give yourself to it in wholeness and wait. Let the knowing of this primal sound carry you into circles where sound itself— where silence itself—becomes new and the new a song you sing from your bones.Meditation | By Susan L Van Dreser | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Body, Direct Experience, Immanence, Listening, Silence, Unitarian Universalism, WholenessWorship element

If there is a heaven, it is right here, right now, in this particular arrangement of nature, this happening of earth, moon, and star, this constellation of instants, this laden moment, this flash of recognition, this particle of time.

I do not know if the seasons remember their history or if the days and nights by which we count time remember their own passing. I do not know if the oak tree remembers its planting or if the pine remembers its slow climb toward sun and stars. I do not know if the squirrel remembers last fall's...Meditation | By Burton D.
