  • In a crowd in a darkened area, about 20 people hold lit taper candles in the air. We see the hands and arms of the people with candles, but not their faces. The most prominent candle, and the one most in focus, is held by a white person with a bracelet on their arm.
    We remember that holiness has never belonged only to the mighty or the certain, but to the vulnerable, the weary, the seekers, and to all who dare to love in difficult times.

  • Four leaves float on very calm water. The leaves, perhaps from a beech tree, are shades of yellow, red, and orange.
    Golden leaves and harvest cheer, We gather close as frost draws near. But whispers rise from warming seas; A planet pleads beneath the trees…

  • About 20 identical lit votive candles sitting on a dark textured surface. The candles completely fill the frame.
    When political violence is no longer a rhetorically-based thing but rather happening in front of our very own eyes, it can be hard to know what to do next.

  • In a room with white walls we see a rectangular wooden dining table, with six blue placemats, five of which hold place settings, and one of which is empty. There are wooden chairs at the places with settings, but no chair at the empty placemat. In the background there are some sideboards, and there are small framed pieces of art on the walls.
    How, each morning after you left this earth, did the sun decide to rise once again?

  • A flock of 50 or so birds, silhouetted against a somewhat cloudy sky. Near the top of the image the sky is blue and the clouds are white, but the clouds behind the birds are glowing deep red from the setting sun.
    Spirit of Life and Love, may we offer our humble, if not sometimes begrudging, gratitude for the miracle of moments taken for granted— for minutes that feel like hours, for the miracle of mountain tops and coral reefs, the miracle of survival and ancient olive trees…

  • A farmhouse on the Oklahoma plains, with stormy skies overhead and a rainbow stretching from the ground to the right of the house up into the sky over it. The house, with white sides and a bright red roof, has several dormer windows and a cupola. It is attached to a covered garage or stable that is nearly as large as the house itself.
    May your courage be louder than the whispers. May your glitter outshine their glares. May your love be stubborn as red dirt clay, and your joy roll on like prairie wind.

  • A view, from within the crowd, of participants in a pride parade on a city street. Most of the frame is filled with dozens of rainbow Pride flags being waved by individual marchers.
    Blessed are we, the whole queer family, for love is our birthright, and joy is our inheritance.

  • Against a blurry green background, a honeybee crawls on the inflorescence of a great globe-thistle. Most of the individual florets have not yet opened, but at the top of the inflorescence, where the bee is crawling, about 15 or 20 open florets are showing tiny blue-white petals.
    Help us stretch beyond the human-worn patterns of movement, and to notice more fully the path of the ravens overhead, the bob of the coyotes through the brush.

  • A closeup of a caterpillar crawling from the right side of a person’s thumb to the left side, with its body arched over the tip of the thumb. The caterpillar is pale green, with a thin red stripe on the lower part of its body and a thin yellow stripe on the upper part.
    Dear humans, the ones with senses that witness and hearts that break; the ones with brokenness and bruises, seen and unseen: Know you are blessed just by being.

  • 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

  • A child wearing headphones and a blue hooded coat sits on a bench facing a wintry landscape of snow, dead grass, and bare trees. Their dark hair is pulled back, and their back is to the camera.
    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.

  • The hand of a white child is securing a sticker with the words “Love is love” on it to a metal pole.

  • 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…

  • 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.
