Each and everyone of us have these special 2 pieces of ourselves to share with those close to us, those far away and those we have never met yet. These 2 pieces make you, you!
What sort of Rituals do you do during this time of year as a family? ~ Some of our Hindu friends are Celebrating Diwali now, a festival of lights.
Where will you be celebrating other holidays during the month of November? What will you be celebrating and how does that relate to being Unitarian Universalist?
What will do you for others that might have a hard time finding a meal for their next holiday celebration?
Unitarian Universalist have many different ways for honoring those no longer with us. Many of these rituals come from the vast sources that fill our hearts with mystery, wonder and awe.
In this time of year, with the sunshine and leaves so
BRIGHT and Golden, How and Who do you remember
those no longer with us?
Some remember by placing a stone on a grave,
some with flowers and sweets to eat.
Feel free to print out these images (above) or draw your own with the names of those no longer with us. Place them someplace special and or bring them to church on Sunday for the alter.
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life and see if I could not learn what it had to teach..... ~ Henry David Thoreau
As birds are made to fly and rivers to run, so the soul to follow duty ~ Ramayana
Questions to ponder with your family and friends:
What is simple in your life?
What is something that is EPIC that has happened to you?
What about something "Simply epic?"
Where are the similarities and differences between Henry and Ramayana? ~ Both from very different times, religions and beliefs, places?
