Table Grace
Thanks to beasts and birds and flowers and bees.
Thanks to earth and air and sun and trees.
In all we receive, may we learn to give.
In all we do, may we help life live.
Blessing after a Mistake
After a mistake how can we start over and move forward?
(adapted from Rev. Rob
Eller-Issacs Litany of
Atonement)
When we are hurting;
I forgive you,
I forgive myself,
We begin again in love
If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking, A Poem for Healing
Sometimes it feels like there are a lot of broken things in the world. How can we help to heal our world and each other? Remembering a short poem might help everyone remember that there is hope and healing everywhere and that we can each do our part.
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
— Emily Dickinson

What do you do when you need a little extra courage? You might take some deep breaths or talk with a friend, but sometimes a song is just the thing to get you in the right frame of mind to take on something that’s scary or overwhelming. “Never Turning Back” by Pat Humphries is one of those songs you might want to sing to yourself for courage. It’s the kind of song that’s easy to put in your own words for, so you could even change the words to fit your situation and sing something like “Gonna walk right past that bully, walk right past that bully, walk right past that bully. Never turning back, never turning back.”
