| I know for many it has been confusing and sometimes scary to see and hear the news these days. I invite you into taking a deep breath. On Sunday I spoke about using Wisdom to have a plan which allows us to not be in fear. As the unknowns of many kinds swirl, we can choose to be a place of calm in the midst. This is a time to increase our compassion. (ie being patient with someone you think is over or under reaccting) It is a time to deepen our spiritual practice. (ie more prayer, meditation, yoga etc) It is a time to be aware of the ways that we can each contribute to raising the common good. (ie being mindful of how we can spread or not spread germs, encouraging sifts in self-care and sick-leave norms) Unity’s 4th Basic Principle is we use prayer and meditation to change our life. Unity’s 5th Basic Principle is that knowing spiritual truth is not enough, we must go forth and put feet to our prayers. This is the time. I opened today’s board meeting with a prayer of Wisdom, Wholeness, and Love for ourselves, our community, local and world leaders, and each being on earth. I extend this to you dear friends. May all beings be well, wise, and act from love. Rachel |
