“We speak to the god, the goddess, the spirit of life, the eternal.
We speak to the mysterious thread that connects us one to the other and to the universe.
We speak to the deep wisdom at the center of our beings.
We embody the yearning of all people.”
-Susan Manker-Seale
What is the deep wisdom at the center of your being? Take a moment to listen to it.
You have a spark of the divine within you—the essential potential for goodness. To many, the ultimate religious journey of humanity is nurturing that spark of the divine and fully realizing our inherent goodness.
How can you recognize and nurture the divine within yourself today?
“Our bodies inherently have value; our bodies are where we live, and they’re the container for all of our experiences—including our religious and/or spiritual experiences. If we tolerate or perpetuate the devaluing of other people’s bodies, we’re also willing to devalue their spiritual experiences. Ableism is the centering of able bodies and experiences over disabled bodies and experiences, while simultaneously devaluing and erasing those disabled bodies.” -UUMA Ableism Task Force
What are the ways in which your body is and is not valued? How can you see your inherent worth today?
“Productivity” is a way of turning people into machines, of dehumanizing us and centering others. Self-care–including rest–is important. You are important enough to rest.
Take a nap today, even a brief one. It’s ok, really.
Sometimes, we find our own center in relationships, in conversations, or even in therapy. A real conversation allows two people to share the center, to share the circle.
Have a meaningful conversation with someone today.
