We UU’s are a lovably funny bunch. We often focus on the rational and humanist strains of our faith. And yet, we also affirm the power and wisdom of our “direct experiences of transcending mystery and wonder.” In this month when we explore emergence, let’s reflect on what it might mean to embrace moments of mystery and wonder that emerge from our everyday experiences. How might these spiritual experiences give us life and sustain us in the work of seeking justice?
