Light at the End of the Tunnel by Judith Sargent Murray

We march through this tunnel This dark, everlasting tunnel But I wonder I wonder if the sun is rising I wonder if the light is coming This is for the best That once we have marched through the tunnel to get to where we need to be Maybe the sun will shine on our beautiful […]

Most of the Days of the Week by Deirdre Fagan

On Monday you make pancakes, pay the bills, clean the floor, wipe down the counters, and begin chopping vegetables for soup. As the knife slices the onion thin, you peel away its outer layer and consider committing seppuku at noon. On Tuesday you start the Crock-Pot, dust the blinds, rake the leaves, strip the beds, […]

To Invoke Love by Rev. Sean Parker Dennison

To invoke Love is to ask for a hug from a thunderstorm, spill tea in the lap of the infinite trickster, to make the biggest, most embarrassing mistake of your life in front of everyone who matters. To invoke Love is to never know if it will come softly, with the nuzzle of a beloved […]

A Minister’s Message – Towards Resilience – January 18, 2023

We begin this New Year with hope in our hearts and worry on our brows. There is much to fear. Regardless of circumstances, all of us are struggling with some part of our lives. If your personal world is not in turmoil, our outer world most surely is. We are embarking on a new course […]

I Am Resilient by Leah Smith and Chloe Smith

I am resilient I trust the movement I negate the chaos Uplift the negative I’ll show up at the table, again and again and again I’ll close my mouth and learn to listen These times are poignant The winds have shifted It’s all we can do To stay uplifted Pipelines through backyards Wolves howlin out […]

A Minister’s Message – Follow the Shepherds – December 23, 2022

We will spend Christmas evening at my daughter’s house in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains. She lives on a farm at the end of a small valley, a hollow or “holler” as the locals call them. All around the farm on verdant hills are sheep. As I have been anticipating this trip, I have […]

Of History and Hope by Miller Williams

We have memorized America, how it was born and who we have been and where. In ceremonies and silence we say the words, telling the stories, singing the old songs. We like the places they take us. Mostly we do. The great and all the anonymous dead are there. We know the sound of all […]
