Last Sunday’s Reflection

Reflection by Kevin Geiger
“Be a Bridge”
Humans are best when making bridges – inside ourselves, between each other, out to the world. We are less when we do the opposite and seal ourselves off or build divisive walls. Bridge is a noun but it is also a verb.
Kevin and his family joined North Chapel decades ago when his kids came home from a trial Sunday service with rubber snakes. Always a good omen.
Kevin has worked in regional planning for over 80 towns in Vermont since 1990, except a few years in the National Park Service with his wife Cory in Zion National Park. His work days have centered on helping Vermonters grapple (often unwillingly) with various issues. In short, planning for the future they say they want. Outside of work, he can be found pruning apple trees in the spring, putting in the garden in the summer, refereeing soccer in the fall, and teaching skiing in the winter. He and Cory live in Pomfret.

Gratitude
Gratitude is a way of living that opens our hearts to one another. Through generosity, compassion, and hope, we celebrate abundance not by what we keep, but by what we share.

Reflection by Rev. Leon Dunkley
“The Bridge Leads to a Holy Place”
“Love is the spirit of this church, and service is its law; this is our great covenant: to dwell together in peace, to seek the truth in love, and to help one another.” ~ James Vila Blake, 1894
Many Unitarian Universalist churches across the country recite these words each week. This is, for many congregations, a statement of inclusiveness and belonging. Sometimes though, in order to achieve this, we hide our disagreements. Yet, when we are grounded, honest and kind, very often we can resolve our differences - wholly or in part - but we have to learn to speak them non-combatively. We have to learn somehow to build a bridge.
