JaBbA's Hut

It's been a while. I've been so overwhelmed with the state of things, I just couldn't seem to get an entry started.

But The Rev. William G. Sinkford has sent out a call for atonement, in this season of the Jewish Yom Kippur:

No matter what we do, however, we may feel that our small actions are insignificant, that we do not have the skills or the time or the opportunity to choose life, to stand on the side of love. Yet even small acts may have results we cannot imagine. Your own acts for love and justice inspire me, and others, in ways you may never know. And please be gentle with yourself, allowing yourself to risk even when you know you may fail. As the Rev. Robert Eller-Isaacs, co-minister of Unity Church-Unitarian in St. Paul, Minnesota, wrote in his Kol Nidre:

For remaining silent when a single voice would have made a difference,
We begin again in love…
For each time that our greed has blinded us to the need of others,
We begin again in love…
For losing sight of our unity,
We begin again in love…

In this time of difficulty and peril, let us, over and over, begin again in love.

Doesn't mean that I have to be nice, but it means that whatever small things I can do to try to make the world a better place, should be done.

So I'm back.
