As the election approaches, our nervous systems are riddled with anxiety. To say that these are confusing and uncertain times would be a gross understatement. So much is at stake and yet we must go on with our everyday lives, despite our heavy hearts. Now is the time to remember that we are not alone. Now is the time to be in community, to lay down our burdens, even if temporarily, and accompany one another through these difficult moments.
If any of this resonates with you, I encourage you to join the East Shore Unitarian community on Monday, November 4th and Wednesday, November 6th from 6:00-8:00 pm for our Election Vespers. We will fill our sanctuary with candlelight and meditation as we hold in our hearts our greatest hopes for our democracy and our collective future.
You are important to me. I love you.
Your Minister, Rev. Maria Cristina
