Reflection...
The Freshness of Life
We greet the coming Spring with joy!
Nature brings us countless reminders of Life's beauty and freshness.
The quality of freshness is something we all can cultivate.
Every moment provides an opportunity for a fresh start.
Yet, we often act as though all the feelings and ideas we have are fixed - burdens we can't set down. Hanging on to negative stories about ourselves and others, or what we think must happen, adds to our collective suffering.
The freshness of Spring reminds us to lighten our hearts and offer our sweetness to others.
Like the morning dew, or the tenderest shoots and buds slowly peeking out, we can allow a smile to sit lightly on our lips.
Like flowers, each of us is a beautiful expression of our creative, living Earth.
Offering your freshness to another being is a beautiful gift!

End Note...
"With love somes understanding, and with understanding comes love.
Ultimately, love and understanding are one...
When we make true connection we touch what is holy. Hospitality is the start of the journey;
it is the enactment of our Unitarian faith."
- Peter Morales, former UUA President
