I know that whatever happens that love is still the greatest power and that is how I will continue to orient my life. I know that I will continue to sing. I know I will continue to reach out and reach up. I know I will continue to try to repair what has felt so broken. I know that I will have to work on forgiveness for a long time.

I know that no matter who wins this election, half this country will be angry or disappointed or grieving. I know whatever happens it will not be the last word. There will be push back and there will be movement forward. I know there is still a lot of work ahead—but that we have done hard things before and we will rise to this hard thing as well.

I know that I am not alone,

I know that you are not alone,

I know that we are all holding hands and instead of holding our breath

We are breathing together.

In the coming days, Rev. Susan will be available if you’d like to meet with her.   You can reach her at info@uupoconos.org to set up an appointment.  

There will also be a number of post-election events that can offer the support of both the larger community of UUs nationwide (the UUA) and our own UUFP community:  

Post-Election UUA Events:  

• Forward Together: Anchoring in Community Post-Election.  (First Session starts tonight! ). 
  A three-session series from the UUA and UU State Action Networks for spiritual sustenance, political action, and regional breakouts in response to what will happen after Election Day. Session One on 11/6, Session Two TBD (for the day the election is called), and Session Three on 11/19.
• Tools for Tending: Post-Election Spiritual Care (11/21) at 7pm ET – 9pm ET 
  Join Side With Love, BLUU, and DRUUMM for this 2-hour special event. Open to all, this event will help tend our spirits through somatic practices, spiritual grounding, and small group connection. Combining structured elements, reflection time, music, facilitated caucus spaces, and visioning exercises, we hope you will feel grounded, strengthened, and held for the work ahead.

Post-Election Events at UUFP:  

Friday, November 8th, 7:00 – 8:00 pm:  UUFP Zoom only Post Election Event with Rev. Susan.  For those of you who would like to do a bit of grounding and centering, perhaps a bit of prayer, and then a time to be with one another, Rev. Susan will lead us on Zoom only.
