This morning we once again did not hold our own services but were invited to join our neighbors at the UU Church of Columbia for their online services. Today was their annual Flower Communion (we held ours last month), and Rev. Molly Housh Gordon reflected on the service as an act of "radical hope," finding beauty and worth in all our differences and choosing to gather together. In keeping with the theme of finding beauty in difference, Rev. Molly shared a story from India, in which a cracked water jar is ashamed of its "wasteful" leaking but then learns that it was watering flowers all along. Not every break or spill is so benign, but in these times when so much seems to be slipping through our fingers or slipping through our cracks, we perhaps need more than ever to look beyond the flaws and messes for the flowers.
