Remembrance

Each November 20, communities all around the world pause to commemorate the Transgender Day of Remembrance. This year, we honor the 426 transgender people who were murdered or who died by suicide in the past year. The list is always too long–even one person on that list is too many. And yet, we must remember. And the list, however long, is incomplete. We remember them.

Take a moment today to remember and grieve. If you can, visit Remembering Our Dead and read the list of names or watch the slide show for a while.

Infinity of Grace

Our Unitarian Universalist faith insists that we do not limit the infinity of grace. Therefore our job is to cultivate possibility in response to isolation and suffering. The feeling of chaos that is inherent in possibility makes us uneasy. But when we embody possibility, we are creating a new story to explain the world and our participation in it. We are taking an evolutionary step forward, one that allows for a future in which our children themselves can be creatively ambiguous in heart, body, and mind.” -Mitra Rahnema

How do you cultivate possibility?
