Universalism in practice Black lives matter. By Nancy McDonald Ladd

An unexpected journey May we remember our power to bless, ourselves, and others. By Lee Devoe

Letter from a hoped-for future What Unitarian Universalism looks like, twenty years from now. By Rosemary Bray McNatt

Perhaps on a day
     very much like today
     I shall die.
     A pleasant July,
     warm and kind.

It might be September
when summer is ending
and autumn begins.

If I die in winter
     my ashes will mix with the snow
     and melt into spring
     as willows turn soft and green.

—And then I’ll return
     to that time and space
     that was my home
     before my birth.
