As I am thinking about the events that have occurred in my life this week, both the joyful and the sad, and about how such emotions can exist in ones life at the same time, I find peace in the words that Reverend Shana, (my First Unitarian Church of Victoria Minister) shared with me:
“The choice to bless the world is more than an act of will,
a moving forward into the world
with the Intention to do good.
It is an act of recognition, a confession of surprise, a grateful acknowledgment
that in the midst of a broken world
Unspeakable beauty, grace and mystery abide.”
From ‘Choose to Bless the world’ ~ Rev. Rebecca Parker, President of the Starr King School for the Unitarian Universalist ministry, Berkeley, CA.
