  • 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…

  • 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 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 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 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…

  • A child — perhaps eight years old or so, wearing shorts and a short-sleeve shirt, and with their arms raised — is standing on a ridge, silhouetted by the sun. The sky is pale blue with scattered clouds, and the sun is low in the sky, but still above the horizon.
    May we be bold in our faith, declaring that Gone are the Days! We are Unitarian Universalists. We are the blessings we seek for this world and the Beloved Community we are building.

  • 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.

  • A landscape painting by Thomas Cole, of the Hudson Valley school, entitled “Catskill Mountain House: The Four Elements.” The painting shows the tree-covered hills around the Catskill Mountain House, a hotel near Palenville, New York, in the fall. A large rock is visible, as well as a dark rainstorm and, in the distance, a forest fire.
    May we each model in our natures, the best in Nature. Eternally changing; knowing only movement, and an urge to create life.

  • 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 photograph of two hands — one perhaps older, one perhaps younger — holding one another. The hands are starkly lit against a black background.
    This prayer is designed to be woven into the song “Comfort Me,” #1002 in Singing the Journey.

  • 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.
