February brings with it reminders of what Love can bring to our lives. Without a doubt I can tell you, if Love is what you want, give yourself over to Love….and Love will find you!
Kate Wolf “Give Yourself to Love”
Speak with reverence about others, always
I posted this a few times over the years, and feel especially during this month that so keenly reminds us of the qualities of benevolent love to contemplate this. #TaraBrach

New Blog Addresses RACE in America
Wow! Provocative new blog series by UU Minister & Theologian: Rev. Thandeka:
“Black lives have never mattered in America. Today, more and more whites are discovering that their lives don’t matter either”
“The concept of white privilege was created to hide white suffering.” “White-skin privilege conceals the fact that just like blacks, whites in America have no binding legal rights to health care, living wages, decent housing, and a viable public education system for their kids. Most whites in America are treated like niggers.”
“White people are killing themselves at a higher rising rate than members of any other racial group in America today. What’s going on? And for those of us who are not white, why should we give a damn? As an African American minister, this is why I give a damn.”
For those of you who know the tragic stories held close in our family, you understand why now more than ever we are evangelists for peaceable ways of life and living, founded in compassion and grace, that are just and accessible for all. Grateful for Thandeka’s courage to educate the world with her wisdoms.
