All Water Is One Water by Mel Hoover, Rose Edington
Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray posted this on her facebook this morning, “Family separation and child detention is deeply cruel and inhumane. It must end.
Join me and our partners at the UUSC: Unitarian Universalist Service Committee to call on the Biden Administration to shut down the immigration detention system in the United States and fully restore asylum at our borders.”
Child Detention is Coming Back: Here’s How to Stop It
May we all be committed to taking action to change our world for the better. #dailyprayer
“When the train stops, the woman said, you must get on it. But how will I know, the child asked, it is the right train? It will be the right train, said the woman, because it is the right time. A train approached the station; clouds of grayish smoke streamed from the chimney. How terrified I am, the child thinks, clutching the yellow tulips she will give to her grandmother. Her hair has been tightly braided to withstand the journey. Then, without a word, she gets on the train, from which a strange sound comes, not in a language like the one she speaks, something more like a moan or a cry.” – Louise Glück
This Sunday, Phoebe Durst will deliver a lesson on the spiritual practices of commitment.

“The most complete definition of a commitment is this: falling in love with something and then building a structure of behavior around it for those moments when love falters.” – David Brooks
