Rainbow Reflections

“Life can only be understood backwards; 

but it must be lived forwards.” ― Søren Kierkegaard

Ponder this with your family and friends:

• How does a rainbow arrive?,  ~ aka what does it take to make a rainbow?
  
• What happens to a seed when it is placed in the darkness of the earth?, What does it NEED?
  
• Why do we care for our bees and ladybugs, our human friends and plants? What does that have to do with being Unitarian Universalist anyway?

When Migration happens, does searching happen?

Mother Earth

Mother Earth

What does it mean to honor our "Mother"?

Perhaps it mean CARING!

Something to Ponder...

What if Mother's Day was "CARING Day" ? 

- A Day to recognize all those that CARE for us!

The Mother Earth cares for us in so many way. 

Check out the above photo for a minute.

Now image yourself in that tree, or laying under it 

or maybe sitting against it.

How does that feel? 

Does it feel like the Tree is CARING for you?

The beautiful Earth cares for us in so many way,

What Beautiful People do you Honor on this CARING Day, this Mother's Day?

Life without love 

is like a tree 

without blossoms or fruit 

- Khalil Gibran جبران خليل جبران‎ 

Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer

(January 6, 1883 – April 10, 1931) 

"What the world needs now is love sweet love.."

How will you share your sweet love 

with all that care for you?

Ark of Covenant!

To Covenant means: to PLEDGE!

What does it mean to PLEDGE in Love and Service?

What does that look like and feel like in our interconnected world and spiritual community?

“The Arc of the Moral Universe Is Long, but It Bends Toward Justice” ― Martin Luther King Jr.

Question to Ponder!

 What's an Ark of Covenants?

• Could it be a boat with bunch of animals saying the UU principles?
  
• Is it a box filled with jewels?
  
• What about ........
  
  Share your thoughts with your family and friends and bring your answers and questions Sunday morning!
