Music I heard with you was more than music.
And bread I broke with you was more than bread.
Now than I am without you, all is desolate;
all that was once so beautiful is dead
I would like to believe when I die that I have given myself away like a tree that sows seed every spring and never counts the loss, because it is not loss, it is adding to future life. It is the tree’s way of being. Strongly rooted perhaps, but spilling out its treasure on the wind.
May Sarton (Unitarian Universalist, author, essayist, critic)
…there are angles from which the Spirit cannot be glimpsed by even the sharpest empirical eye.
William F. Schulz (Unitarian Universalist, social reformer, minister, Unitarian Universalist Service Committee President & CEO, Unitarian Universalist Association President 1985-1993)
And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the the ground at our feet, and learn to be at home.
Sarah York (Unitarian Universalist, minister, educator)
It is in our liberal religious bloodline to gather and organize ourselves as a prophetic church, a religious community that seeks to intervene in human history for the sake of social justice.
Richard S. Gilbert (Unitarian Universalist, minister, social activist)
