Let us Sing The Magic of Imagination by Susan L. Van Dreser

CZ

Let us sing the magic of imagination by which we know one another and learn the lives of eras gone by.
Let us sing the magic of creation by which we build the world of our soul and teach its wisdom to others, young and old.

Let us sing the magic of our lives together, holding and shaping by the movement of breath from heart to lung all new life that is to come.

Go now with singing. Go now with magic in your fingertips. Touch this world with life.

How to Help First Year College Students be Sexual Smarty

CZ

In this day and age it is important to educate ourselves and our children about sex and sexuality no matter their age.

“A parent may consider their live-away college freshman a newly minted adult, but, biologically, teens remain in adolescence until about age 25. While their brains are still developing, they are more likely to take risks, use poor impulse control, and be self-conscious. These are all risk factors for unhealthy sexual decisions.”

Historic day for Equality

CZ

Today is an historic day. As a friend said,  “This is a once in a lifetime thing for most activists. We don’t get to WIN. Most of the time, we see incremental progress in our lifetimes, but it is rare to get a big win like this.”

UUA President Peter Morales draped the General Assembly podium with a rainbow flag and invited same-sex couples to join him on the stage this morning to celebrate the Supreme Court’s marriage equality decision. An ecstatic crowd wept, cheered, and then sang “We Are Standing on the Side of Love.”
