  • An woman wearing an olive T-shirt and camo pants, suggesting a military veteran, leans forward in her chair, hands together, towards a counselor who's seated with a clipboard of notes on her lap.

  • From behind, from the neck down, a military service member is shown wearing camouflage holds his rucksack in front of a house's doorstep. An American flag hangs next to the front door.

  • In a hospital bed, a person wearing an oxygen mask gazes up at two nurses or physicians, who are wearing blue scrubs, masks, and hairnets.
    The most important person is the person in front of us, whether they’re a person we’re “supposed” to help, a friend, or a stranger.

  • The Unitarian Universalist Association raises a clear and prophetic voice for our liberal religious values and against the growing movement toward fascism in the US. Religious leadership is called to illuminate the ultimate values at stake in the play of current events.

  • A graphic with the bisexual pride flag as the background: magenta at the top, purple in the middle, and blue at the bottom. At the top center is the Unitarian Universalist flaming chalice symbol filled with rainbow stripes. Across the purple band, bold blue text reads “Celebrate Bisexuality Day.”

  • A person with dark skin, wearing denim overalls, is partially seen kneeling on the floor. They are holding a long-handled paintbrush and dabbing yellow paint on a paint palette that rests on the floor, at the level of the camera. They appear to be in the middle of a painting in a studio.
    The freedom to seek, discover, and accept others’ truths is a sweet path to follow.

  • A flower with 17 thin purple petals surrounding a cluster of yellow stamens — a Balkan anemone — rests on a piece of glass that has cracks radiating outwards from the flower.
    It is an act of love for yourself and for each other to come back home to being a regular person: to let go of pretend-perfection and certainty.

  • A preteen child, sitting on a step, hugs their knees and rests the side of their face on their knees, as if expressing sadness. An adult sitting next to them attends to the child, one hand on their knee and another around their back.

  • A young person, seen only from their neck to their chest, has their palm flat against their heart. In the blurred background, an adult sitting up on a couch appears to be doing the same thing.
    Hold us as we learn to show ourselves the kindness we seek to model for those we love.

  • The dome of the Pantheon in Rome, seen from below and lit from bright sunlight coming through the dome’s open top. The photo is in black and white, overexposed and with high contrast, so the shadows of the architectural elements form a pattern reminiscent of the seeds of a sunflower.
    we gather now / in the wake of their efforts to erase / as a sign / that we are not so easy to erase / and knowing that we are / literally love becoming

  • Against a dark flat landscape with the sun low on the horizon, a river winds dramatically into the distance. It stretches across the image from right to left and back again four or five times before disappearing into the horizon.

  • A group of twelve people standing in two rows in front of a stage. They are all wearing summer-time clothing and smiling for the camera.
    Finding balance between productivity and rest remains essential for offering nourishment in our gifts of religious leadership. To lead in these times takes enormous energy of body, mind, and spirit, and it is essential that we find experiences of joy and rest in our lives so we do not burn out.

  • Two photos in wood frames are propped in front of a row of books. Both photos are in sepia tones, and obviously very old. The first photo, of Rev. Samuel Longfellow, is a close-up of a white man with short parted hair, a mustache, bushy beard, and a bow tie. The second photo, of Rev. Samuel Johnson, is set back slightly, showing a white man with longer dark hair, and a longer beard. He is wearing a suit and bow tie, as well, and his name appears in calligraphy under the portrait.
    The love that brought The Sams into partnership ripples outward from their lives.
