The Rev. Felix Carrion (UCC)In one of Walt Whitman's poems there are words that have reached me deeply, and I want to share these with you:
Each of us is inevitable,
Each of us limitless,
Each of us with his or her right upon the earth,
Each of us allowed the eternal purport of the earth,
Each of us here as divinely as any is here.
God in You
Song of Solomon 2:10, Romans 7:21-25, Matthew 11:28

The Rev. Felix Carrion (UCC)In his essay "Spiritual Laws" Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote:
"The lesson is forcibly taught by these observations that our life might be much easier and simpler than we make it; that the world might be a happier place than it is; that there is no need of struggles, convulsions, and despairs, of the wringing of the hands and the gnashing of the teeth; that we miscreate our own evils....Whenever we get this vantage point...of a wiser mind in the present, we are able to discern that we are begirt with laws which execute themselves.... Place yourself in the middle of the stream of power and wisdom which animates all whom it floats, and you are without effort impelled to truth, to right and a perfect contentment."
