  • The front cover of Tricia Hersey’s book “Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto”
    Let our rest be a resurrection. Let the veils be lifted so we can feel, see, taste, and smell the power of our rested selves.

  • A young orange, brown, and white tabby cat lies on a bed with its eyes closed. The cat is on a light brown fleece blanket, and a pillow with a floral pillowcase is visible behind it. Sunlight rakes in at a low angle and illuminates part of the cat and the blanket.
    Sometimes we awake in the morning, and we’d rather go back to sleep… And then, the first sliver of sunshine may dance across our face.

  • A white woman with neck-length reddish brown hair, wearing brown glasses and a dark green top, holds her right hand to her heart while closing her eyes. She is standing and facing to our left. In the same room, behind her and out of focus, are other people also standing in prayerful postures.
    We come together in this quiet moment to unify our hearts again towards the clarion call of our time: May justice and equity guide us to great connection, a greater truth.

  • A black-and-white photo of the full moon, close to the horizon and behind a tiny wisp of clouds, over the calm but not glassy surface of the Pacific ocean. The water reflects the moon’s light, forming a bright streak between the viewer and the moon.
    Here in the quiet, may we lift up our hearts in gratitude for the gifts of our lives, pausing in thanksgiving.

  • At night, from the vantage point of a dark stretch of beach, there are three light sources visible: On the left there is a lighthouse, shining bright streams of light in several directions; on the right, the moon glows behind a light cloud cover; and in the middle, we see fainter light from several houses farther down the coast. The foam from the sea is also visible, and shows the shoreline stretching in a straight line from the lower right of the photo to the houses in the middle of the photo.
    We cannot know what all the year may bring, and would we heed the prophecy if we could?

  • A greyscale image of the tiny feet of a baby held in a pair of adult hands, with larger adult hands cradling both. The symmetrical arrangement of hands and feet somewhat resembles a heart. Behind the hands and feet, we can see a little of the clothes covering the baby’s belly.
    Later, poets would tell of stars, shepherds, and seers, songs of angels…

  • The bronze statue of Atlas that stands above the entrance of the central train station in Frankfurt. Atlas struggles to hold the Earth — with a band of figures representing the twelve astrological signs surrounding the equator — on his back and shoulders. Atlas is aided by allegorical figures representing Steam and Electricity.
    We call upon all the transcendent gifts of renewal to be bestowed upon us, for an energizing renewal to fill us in all the ways that serve our lagging spirits when our own resilience wanes.

  • An overhead view of a few square feet of a street paved with concrete bricks, showing the yellow flower of a dandelion growing in the space between two bricks. The flower is on the right side of the photograph, and its color matches a yellow stripe painted on the pavement, which fills the left third of the photo.
    Spirit of Love, come alongside with all the holy nudges that we need, so we may live in such a way that we celebrate all the blessings that we have been given. So we may be the blessings in the world.

  • Dark, heavy clouds over the ocean, seen from the coast. Behind the nearly-black clouds, near the horizon, we see indirectly the brightness of the sun. Its light gives a golden glow to the parts of the ocean and sky that are not in deep shadow from the clouds.
    Voice still and small, as we turn inward we listen for you. Deep inside all, this Easter morning, open our hearts to hear you in the figure of Jesus.

  • A black-and-white image of three Polaroid photographs, slightly overlapping one another, on a wooden table with visible grain. The faded and slightly blurry photos look like they are casual shots of a few people sitting on risers in a high-school or college gym, and they give the impression of having been taken long ago.
    A ritual for honoring and remembering beloved ancestors and the recently departed, with roots in both the Christian and Pagan traditions.

  • A multi-colored quilt image, with blues and reds and white, along with thread bobbins and other quilting tools, is the background of this graphic. On top of this is a maroon-colored box with the word Love inside in all caps and white font.
    This reflection on Love is part of a collection entitled, "Theological Reflection on Shared Values" by Rev. Dr. Sheri Prud’homme. In 2024, Unitarian Universalists adopted six shared values, centered around love, as a guiding expression of their faith.

  • One person leading another by the hand on a city street. Our point of view is from near the right shoulder of the person being led, who is a white man wearing a long-sleeve grey knit shirt. All we see of him is his arm stretched out to the leader’s hand, which he is holding. The leader, a white woman, is wearing a jean jacket with the sleeve rolled up to just below the elbow; she is also wearing a turquoise bracelet and a red cloth bracelet. We see her arm and torso but not her head.
    Lead us to the love that holds us all and is with us always; the love that can help us through the messy and necessary life-altering work of building movements across beliefs, across difference, for change that can endure.

  • A close-up photo of one cosmos flower in a group of several. The flower’s striated petals are mostly violet, but are a deeper reddish purple near the many yellow stamens in the flower’s center.
    Ours is the work of creation. Ours is the work of inviting people into an irresistible movement, rooted in our belief that a new world is possible. And the center of our work is love, and joy, and the spirit of abundance.

  • A glass ball, held in a person’s hand at the sea shore, acts as a lens and shows an inverted image of the sea and the sunset sky. The image in the glass ball is sharp and in focus; the actual sea and sky, visible around the ball, is out of focus.
    As we light this chalice, we kindle the spirit of the great turning: the movement for justice alive in this nation today. May we feel it in our bones, and in the stillness of this hour, may we sense it calling our name.

  • A white wooden sign with “polling station” written on it in capital letters is attached with a zip tie to a fence surrounding a park, near a yellow turnstile gate in the fence. In the background, blurred, we see several people on a grassy lawn in the park, with trees behind them.
    As Unitarian Universalists, we believe democracy is more than a political system; it is a shared journey, a collective responsibility, and a profound act of faith in one another.
