  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • The cupped hand of a white person pours water on a seedling planted in muddy ground.
    May we know that love can heal us, all of us, if we act with compassion, if we offer grace.

  • 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.
