  • A chalice with the word Love over the flame, with six outstretched swirls that create a circular space within them. Together, they form a six-petal flower shape and alternate in color between goldenrod and dark pink. Each contains one of the six UU shared values, printed in a modern font. Clockwise: Transformation (aqua), Equity (bright green), Pluralism (red), Interdependence (dark blue), Justice (goldenrod), and Generosity (dark pink).
    … Love is not only at the center but also the opening that invites us to lament, celebrate, and care.

  • In the foreground, the singer of a punk band grips a microphone and sings with passion. Behind him, colored lights and smoke fill a stage that holds three guitarists. In the background, people are rocking out to the music.
    As chaplains, we create spaces that provide ceremony, connection, and sanctuary.

  • A close up of a green palm plant front, with the stalk symmetrically dividing its many green leaves.
    Thousands of years ago people in an ancient city sang the songs of their hearts.

  • In a church sanctuary, with a stained glass window behind the pulpit with a blurred figure, two different people with dark skin raise an arm to the sky in praise.
    In an era of certain oppression, living our values calls me to resistance.

  • Seen from above, an apparently exhausted person lies on a running track. The person has light brown skin and dark black hair, including a beard and mustache. They are wearing black shorts, a long-sleeve black athletic top, and white athletic shoes. The track is blue, with white lane markings, and the person is lying down where there are yellow triangles marking a relay exchange zone. The track markings give the composition of the image an abstract feel.
    Help me remember, Beloved, that the longings of my heart are never satisfied by the sprint but rather by the slow, languid meander.…

  • Christmas-themed crafts on a white table, seen from above. The focus of the image is a tic-tac-toe game: the squares are marked by sprays of pine needles decorated with holly berries, the Xs are pine-tree-shaped Christmas cookies covered in powdered sugar, and the Os are gingerbread people partly covered with chocolate icing and colorful sprinkles. Surrounding the game are a holiday card, a bowl of Christmas cookies, cinnamon sticks, more sprays of pine needles, and holly berries on otherwise bare branches.
    The magic of Christmas doesn't just happen: It’s made, just like how each year a miracle is celebrated. But that very first Christmas—that miracle—didn’t just happen either…

  • A black-and-white photograph of a person’s hand, partially obscured by the paws of a cat. The black cat is nearly invisible in the shadows surrounding the hand, but its face must be behind the hand because the whiskers from one side of its face are visible in the light that illuminates the hand. The cat’s paws — white, in contrast to its black legs — are pulling the person’s hand toward its body.
    If I can do nothing more, I go out the back door and sit on the steps where the tuxedo cat rubs my leg and I look for the holy.…

  • A person wearing a blue waterproof jacket and grey pants walks away from us on a narrow trail between giant redwood trees in the Pacific Northwest. They are using a wheeled walker as a mobility aid.
    May all creatures live their lives as if no human crushed asphalt / over the land or shaved ancient forests bald.

  • In a darkened room, a child with light brown skin and short straight black hair sits at a window that is splattered with raindrops. The child is wearing a red garment of some sort, and is holding their hand out near the window with their right index finger extended. Outside the window, all we can see is a green blur suggesting plants or trees.
    An interactive, cooperative process of creating a prayer of lament.

  • On a set of stairs outdoors, two women sit talking. They're holding hands, as if comforting one another.
    It seems to me that right now, we all need a little extra grace.

  • A close up shot of a chalice -- a lively flame and oil burner inside the large lip of a metal chalice -- at First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee. In the dark background, the beams of the sanctuary arch gracefully.
    The American Unitarian Association was officially formed on May 26, 1825.

  • A bas-relief of Da Vinci’s “Vitruvian Man” drawing, which shows a diagram of a man inside a circle, with his arms and legs extended so that his hands and feet touch the circumference, and with his arms and legs shown in two positions. The sculpture is made out of grey metal, with a decorative border surrounding the circle in which the man is enclosed.
    …Now that we have enjoyed the quiet, connected to our bodies, and noticed how we are connected to the world around us, may we remember that connection with every breath.

  • A person with dark skin sits, a blanket around their shoulders, on the edge of an emergency vehicle holding what seem to be their injured hand. We see a white person in a uniform bending over, about to apply a bandage or ice pack to the hurt hand.
    Noticing things that need our attention, and then stopping to help, is a communal habit.

    As T. Thorn Coyle says, “Practice makes possible.” How can the practice of covenant help us to navigate relationships in our lives and in our congregations?

  • On a black wrought iron fence, a sprig of flowers is taped next to a handwritten sign on purple posterboard: "Trans energy is sacred energy"
    Trans joy trans joy is bigger than the struggle, louder than the hate, more enduring than fear.

  • A close-up of a white person's neck, collarbone, and upper chest. The person is wearing a shallow, scoopnecked black shirt, and there's glitter covering their skin.
    As a trans woman, I love the ways we sparkle; the ways we twirl. This is how I enter the world, and I've paid a high price for it my entire life.

  • A small flowering plant (Phacelia neglecta) on a reddish rock in the desert outside Quartzsite, Arizona. It has four or five leaves on its small stem, and a single blossom with five pale purple and white petals.

  • A close-up of a drop of water forming on the tip of an icicle, against a blurred dark blue and white background. The many tiny cracks and bubbles in the icicle are visible.
    …it is enough to release the piercing frigidity, the brittle rigidity of ice— and embrace the versatile, vital, blessing, bathing, embodiment of water.

  • Over the vast New Mexico landscape of scrubbrush and, in the distance, purple mountains, a large stormy sky is filled with lurking clouds. A bright arm of lightning reaches down from one cloud to the earth below.
    When the storm is powerful, we need each other to weather it.
