What if you thought of it as the Jews consider the Sabbath— the most sacred of times? Cease from travel. Cease from buying and selling. Give up, just for now, on trying to make the world different than it is. Sing. Pray. Touch only those to whom you commit your life. Center down. And when your...Poetry | By Lynn Ungar | March 17, 2020 | From WorshipWebTagged as: #COVID19, Body, Contemplation, Direct Experience, Healing, Judaism, Sacred, Wisdom

That first breath must be delicious. It must be more tantalizing, more intoxicating than any drug, fragrant like no flower will ever be enticing like no body scent. It must be all of this, and more yet without words or memories, how do we know? That first glorious rush of air wants us to keep...Poetry | By Adam Lawrence Dyer | July 8, 2016 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Awe, Body, Identity, Purpose, Wonder

I wonder Did God’s heart (I mean the love-mushy, endearing part of God) That part The heart that I don’t really believe in as a thing, With pulses... ANYWAY Did that heart Did it Break just a little; When God realized "Oh no— They have made leaves into underpants!" If God says things like...Poetry | By Robin Tanner | April 4, 2016 | From WorshipWebTagged as: 1st Principle (Worth & Dignity), 3rd Principle (Acceptance & Spiritual Growth), Body, God, Playfulness, Self-Respect, Sexuality, Shame, Wonder

I want not dainty bone china-cupped, oh-so-polite, pinky-extended sips, but guzzle-by-the-gallon, drink-from-the-fire-hose- two-hundred-eighty-psi- Niagara-Falls volumes, and inch-thick slices of hearty multi-grain-hard-crusted- with-stick-in-your-teeth-seeds-bread (none of that bland supermarket...Poetry | By Peter Friedrichs | February 4, 2016 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Body, Direct Experience, Love, Playfulness, Sexuality, Valentine's Day

Ah, it’s true. When our ancestors spoke of heaven, they were speaking of this moment. When they went on about nirvana they imagined a time like this. When they sang of paradise, it was this morning they imagined....Poetry | By Mark Belletini | June 25, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Body, Community, Generations, Imagination, Living Our Faith, Love, Mystery, Presence, Silence, Truth

This is what one hundred years look like: A rounded wrinkled back, sparkling wet and soapy above the shower bench, and my hand, having gently formed in your seventieth year, and emerged with lifelines bent toward blessing, scrubbing circles across your soft, white skin. I drag the cloth...Poetry | By Angela Herrera | April 26, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Body, Caring, Connections, Direct Experience, Generations, Prophetic Words & Deeds, Relationships, Service

This body is not what it was I got shin splints from running today Ten years ago all I’d get was smelly feet My back aches just from sitting these days In my youth, all my pain came from climbing trees This body is not what it was Not some alien thing thrust upon me So clumsy, always in the way I...Poetry | By Kayla Parker | March 9, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Acceptance, Aging, Body, Change, Direct Experience

(adapted from the original) I say that it touches us that our blood is sea water and our tears are salt, that the seed of our bodies is scarcely different from the same cells in a seaweed, and that the stuff of our bones is like the coral. I say that the tide rolls in on us, whether we like it or...Poetry | By Marni Harmony | March 9, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: 4th Principle (Truth & Meaning), Awe, Body, Change, Nature, Reverence

WorshipWeb's Origin Story
Conceived in 1999, WorshipWeb was implemented in late 2000 and 2001 through funding from the Unitarian Universalist Association's successful 1997 "Handing on the Future" capital fund campaign.
We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association and its members in the development of WorshipWeb.
