  • With a blue sky behind him, a Black man opens his arms wide and lifts his face up, with eyes closed, as if basking in joy.
    Gratitude is the opposite of addiction. Opposite gratitude is shame, denial, and spiritual paralysis

  • Outdoors, a bench faces a wintry scene of snow, dead grass, and bare trees. A child sits with their back to the camera. They have dark hair pulled back, and are wearing headphones and a blue hooded coat.
    May you know, deep in your bones, that none of this is your fault. May your heart remain soft enough to love and strong enough to protect itself.

  • A black-and-white photo of two women with long hair, silhouetted by the window behind them. They're sitting on chairs facing one another, bent over and holding hands, with heads bowed in prayer.
    I trust your love to heal my wounds. I trust your love is flowing through me, and from me to those around me.

  • The hand of a white child is securing a sticker with the words “Love is love” on it to a metal pole.
    We pray that all people can have what they need and know how much they are loved.

  • A painting of a small fountain in a pond. On the surface of the water, ripples radiate outward from the fountain. Beneath the ripples are bright colors forming indistinct shapes. Several small golden squares among the colors give a hint of regularity.
    How do I leave behind the pain, the disappointment, the anger, at what has been? The unconscious cruelty, the negating, the selfish harm I have walked through, knowing the possibility always exists that it could happen again…

  • A patch of asphalt with a crack running through it, and a beige-colored bandage applied over one piece of the crack.
    May you find peace even though I cannot be its source.

  • The words "A lamentation on the first 100 days of this administration" appear over a darkened human figure, from the waist up, holding a lit taper candle in their stacked, upturned palms. The Side With Love name and rainbow heart logo appear in the lower right hand corner.
    May we be a people who side with love.

  • 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.…

  • 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).
    Make us instruments of your peace with love at the center of everything we do.

  • 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 closeup of one person — a Black woman with natural hair wearing silver hoop earrings and a white T-shirt, holding up a sign — in what appears to be a large crowd at a protest. We see her left profile, from slightly behind her.
    In the midst of the anger and frustration is hope—hope that we are here, hope that a loving world is indeed possible, hope in the faith that love can and will triumph over hate.

  • A drawing, on a textured greenish grey surface using a thick white pen or brush, of a very simplified outline of a human head in profile, with many curved and twisting arrows pointing outwards from the head.
    Blessed are the unfocused, for they notice the sparks of divinity that illuminate the world.…

  • A baby with brown skin looks directly with wide eyes at the camera while being held by a woman with brown skin and black hair, wearing a white sweater with two blue stripes around the upper arm. The woman is turned partly away from us, so that what is visible to us is her right shoulder, part of her back, and the right side of her face. Her eyes are closed and her mouth is in a gentle smile. The baby looks at us over her shoulder with an expression of excitement and curiosity.
    Beloved Child — May you know great love; may you feel deep joy; may you understand the work of justice and the light of truth.

  • A close-up image of the splash formed by a single drop of water landing in a still pool of water, taken at high speed so that the shape of the splash is well-defined. We see the initial ripple spreading outwards from the place where the droplet fell, as well as a vertical column of water formed by the rebounding water. The rebound splash almost looks like a simplified human figure, with a droplet as the head. The pool of water reflects yellow and green light.
    May we become quiet enough and still enough to notice the call deep within us that lures us towards what matters most, this call that lures us towards freedom and purpose.

  • 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.
    Yule is a time to rest and settle into the darkness.

  • 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.

  • In a darkened room, a chalice glows on a desk, with six crayons arranged around it like the rays of the sun. The light from the chalice illuminates several objects on the desk, including a small framed “children’s version” of the seven principles, a polished spherical crystal, a LEGO figurine of a person in a jumpsuit, a flat white-and-silver dove ornament, several books, and a jar with stalks of dried lavender.
    Meet me in the heartbeat between what has been and what will be; meet me in the flicker of our eternal flame. We need not face this moment alone.

  • A close-up of an outstretched brown-skinned hand, with salt slipping between the fingers and pouring down in a stream. The salt is brightly lit, and stands out clearly from the black background of the photo.
    Spirit of Transformation, may our hearts break open and stretch out to join with the hearts of others who yearn for a freer world…
