  • A flurry of red sparks against the background of a black sky. The camera’s shutter speed was set so that each spark leaves a red trail along its path, so the image looks almost like many red pieces of straw in the air, all aligned more or less in the same direction.

  • In the foreground there is a mostly leafless sapling, standing in a field of brown grass. In the distance, at the far edges of the field, there much larger trees, still with green leaves.
    Justice is our prayer. We affirm in covenant with the Beloved Community that is possible.

  • A murmuration of birds, seen from a distance. The birds form a black cloud of varying density, seen against a sky streaked with clouds. The clouds near the horizon show a touch of red from the rising or setting sun.

  • A close-up of a leaf, whose many closely-spaced veins are colored green and red. The first impression is of an abstract pattern of curving parallel lines.

  • A lily blossom, with pale violet leaves and yellow stamens, floats in a pond. Our view is from directly above, and in the water around the blossom we see the reflection of the concentric circles of the frames supporting the glass roof of a greenhouse.
    We light this flame to remind us: love is the center. As we grow and connect, mature and deepen: love remains the center. When the light of truth burns all else away: love remains.

  • Against the background of a sunset sky, we see the silhouettes of three children leaping into the air, with their arms raised and their legs bent.
