"The only place we can rest is in this very moment, living deeply and richly and fully right now, meeting each person and event with an open heart. This is where we have a chance to meet joy, to come home to our breath and our true nature." —Laura Burges

“Over the course of my years of Quaker worship I have learned that certain attitudes help me into worship – particularly humility and gratitude. Gratitude is easy; I can think of all that I am thankful for, and that’s probably the best way into worship on a difficult, distracted day. By humility I don’t mean groveling and feeling awful about myself. It means, simply, remembering that I am not in charge, that I do not know what should happen (either in the meeting or beyond it) and so I am listening intently.”

— Lucy Faulkner-Gawlinski, 2024, Quaker teacher

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, November 20th, we honored the lives of transgender people lost to anti-trans violence. We remembered them with love, speak their names with reverence, and hold space for the grief, resilience, and brilliance within trans communities.

This day calls us to deepen our solidarity, confront the systems that cause this harm, and commit to building a world where all trans people can live safely, freely, and fully.

~Rev Sarah Smalley, Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Northfield
