Unitarian Notes

"What doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God.

"Oh Divine Master, grant that I not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love."

"Treat each other with curious affection, which evolves into respect, which evolves into love" As if one of you is the Messiah…

Change was seen as negative, stability was actually stagnation

Salvation is in our midst; what have we to fear?

A clear purpose allows us to forget what doesn't really matter.

Never confuse doing things right (efficiency) with doing the right things (effectiveness).

Being comfortable is less important than being relevant and being powerful.

Not Doing (260/365)

I took the day off today
The universe seemed okay with that
The sun smiled in approval
While I bathed in a bikini
Then walked to the hairdresser
My mind took a vacation
From the endless mindless gabbing
As I napped upon my book
My body groaned in painful pleasure
As I tended to its tension
Maybe healed in some small sense
Tomorrow's steps will feel much easier

Time (259/365)

I'm not your mother
You're not love
Then what are we in this for?
I'm getting more impatient every year
My saving grace is grace
My neurosis lurks and pounces
My burden grows
A monkey on my back
Chattery and good company
But he's weighing me down
I was born to play
So don't pencil me in

Imagine (258/365)

May the sun set on the wrongs of yesterday
May they scurry off to another corner of the planet while you sleep
And bite someone else's leg
May you know peace
And may all who live in the shadow of love
Step boldly into the light and drop the weapons of wicked words
Shed the armor of fear
And pick up shuttle
You can weave real, lasting peace into the fabric of your life
With every breath
Every thought
Every action
It all begins with you
Why waste another minute?
