We live in a world where cultural and physical relocations ask for constant transformation into the essence of who we are. As the old Cuban wisdom says, "The walls turned on their sides, are bridges." Through the symbolic imagery of House and Home, we share Inside Out: Mirror of Identity and Outside In: Connecting Memories to build a common bridge of humanity.

Fugitive slave, abolitionist, orator, preacher, journalist, editor, writer, and statesman, Frederick Douglass wore many hats in his lifetime to help a nation find meaning in moments of crisis, becoming, in the process, an important symbol of his age. Grounded in a combination of secular and religious ideas and drawn to Unitarianism, Douglass's outlook and interpretation of America's passage from slavery to freedom remains instructive for the current moment.

Pantheism is the belief that God and the Universe are the same things rather than separate things. In other words: "God is all and all is God". This doctrine equates God with the forces and natural laws of the Universe.

In our UU tradition, we strive to "put love at the center;" our society as a whole appears to hold power as its central and highest value. Wisdom lies somewhere in between, but where exactly? And what is the wise response when we see and feel power abused? Let's look into this together.

In what ways could our lives be changed if we made a commitment to explore how our own experiences can be a source of deep wisdom when navigating life’s big questions or decisions? In this service, we will consider how paying close attention to the patterns, challenges, and joys of our lives can guide us toward clarity and discernment. Together, we'll seek to cultivate the practice of listening to our lives as a sacred source of insight and direction.
