I have a lot of friends across this country who are Republicans. We may not agree on all things – But Not a single one of them is a racist, a misogynist, a bigot, or any of the other things they are being called because they voted for Donald Trump. Each one is a decent human being, loving and kind and deserves to be treated with respect. I am appalled and dismayed at how many of my fellow liberals are reacting to the election results in violence.
Violence comes in many forms – it begins in our hearts and minds, expands to our words and actions.
Those behaving violently by inciting riots, causing physical harm to people and property and also by verbally beating down those who voted differently including via social media – – none of this is ok.
It needs to stop. The violence in all its forms needs to stop.
Be the Peace you want to exist in the world! Please.
✨This is the meditation room in my home. I promised myself that I will spend time here each day, and ….most mornings… I keep that promise And when I do the day consistently goes much better. Even if I come face-to-face with something unpleasant, I am better equipped to respond with ease, or at least with peace-of-mind and more compassionate words.

Peace and Earth Justice are a huge part of Twinkle’s ministry. As such, she is delighted to welcome Maine’s Peace Walkers in October for their 5th Anniversary Walk themed: “Stop the War$ on Mother Earth”!! The Peace Walkers will be at Twinkle’s Place the evening of Thursday, October 13th, 2016. We will host them for the night. We welcome locals to come on over to learn about their mission and have some supper with us. (check back for more information soon about the program for that evening! – – and email if you would like to volunteer to help with meal preparations for dinner or breakfast: TwinkleManning@gmail.com)
The following morning, the Peace Walkers will share a vigil with Grandmothers Against the East/West Corridor before moving on to Unity for their next stop.

2016 Maine Peace Walk: “Stop the War$ on Mother Earth”
The 5th Maine Peace Walk will take place on October 11 – 26. The organizing team is made up of individuals who are dedicated to creating a more peaceful, sustainable and just world. We come together out of our deep concern about the many different wars being waged on Mother Earth, ranging from over-fishing, deforestation, and human-caused extinctions, to climate disruption and endless war.
Close to home we support the Penobscot Nation’s struggle for Justice for the River, opposition to the East/West Corridor, and conversion of war production to alternative energy at Maine shipyards. We know from past experience of walking through rural and urban Maine that many people will be reached with our messages. We hope this spiritual act of walking and sharing conversation and food will help people in our state feel less isolated and despairing about the future.
We welcome everyone to join our walk for an hour, a day, or more and to help in any way they can to contribute. We invite environmental, peace, church, and social justice organizations to sign on as a co-sponsor of the walk. We ask co-sponsors to make a donation of their choosing and to help spread the word about the walk to their members/community. Tax-deductible donations can be made by check to Global Network, designated “For Peace Walk” and sent to:

The New Moon on Friday, May 6th is in Taurus. It calls us to ground. To sink into the parts of ourselves that we know are steadfast. To become aware of the supporting elements around us that offer continuity when we feel the urge to float away. One of the best ways to do this is to spend significant time in Nature. Significant. Not merely a token “quality time” but quantity. Deep abiding connection to the Earth. This does not happen on our couches or at our desks, no matter the strength of our visualization powers. Do not allow Ego to fool you to thinking otherwise. Nature is calling. Join her in the great outdoors and embrace this New Moon with the assurance that you will discover the best ways to physically orient your spirituality on this plane.
We invite you to explore the various aspects of the New Moon in Taurus, by reading Mystic Mamma!
There will not be a gathering at Twinkle’s Place this month.
There are several sites that offer insight and instruction on how to conduct group and solitary rituals. Here are a few:
And, as always, whether you currently identify as Unitarian Universalist, or you are curious about where we draw our faith from, and why some of us choose to honor the phases of the Moon, here are a few links to explore:

May you be blessed today and everyday!
