Dear Friends,
Happy Wintering. When you’re feeling grey, just remember, spring is looking forward to seeing you again too.
From UU’s for a Just Economic Community: It’s pretty ironic that Martin Luther King Day and the presidential inauguration happen on the same day this year. May we all find ways to honor this federal holiday and rededicate ourselves to the work that Dr. King was pursuing toward the end of his life: fighting the three evils of society: “the sickness of racism, excessive materialism, and militarism”.

I hope you enjoy this poem by Alix Klingenberg.
From: January
When my head is sore
and my heart is doing that thing
where it aches
for no discernible
reason,
when I feel cold
and hard
and solemn,
I return to the earth
and let her remind me
that rest (cold and solemn)
is what winter is for.
