November 10

May we all find the courage to meet this moment – and may we do it with joy and love. From today's service at the 2nd Unitarian Church:

Beloveds, we will hold our fear together.
We will honor our rage and devastation and grief.
We will hold one another ferociously, tenderly, faithfully.

And then:

We will move deliberately.
We will invest in trust.
We will claim joy, rest, and sustenance.

We will resist en masse.
We will fight fascism and continue the struggle for democracy.
We will continue to build our movements for justice.

We will focus our efforts and abandon distractions.
We will create safe harbor for those in danger.
We will leverage our resources.
We will sharpen our skills and our analysis.

We will act as if no person is disposable.
We will refuse the politics of division and despair.
We will seek the wisdom of elders and of history.
We will weave deeper connections with our neighbors.

We will fight for our survival.
And we will create the conditions of possibility for our thriving and liberation.
