"The stars pierce our hearts, peace envelops us, we are blessed.
We give thanks for the mystery and miracle of wonder.”
~[I have no idea, not credited where I saw it]

Beloveds,

Tomorrow and Friday are the shortest days of the year, and tomorrow night, the longest night. I’m hoping for the weather forecast to hold, with cold, clear skies and a good view of the moon and stars. Maybe take a pause to notice them and feel a little peace, a little wonder and mystery.

Ponder all that for a few days, then come to church on Sunday afternoon (not morning!) and mark the Christmas holiday our 19th-century Unitarian and Universalist ancestors loved so much by lighting candles in the dark.

Yours in the dark and the light,
Rev. Denise
