Welcome back to the Lighthouse! I wish I could say that I had planned for this month’s newsletter better, but truthfully, I’ve been in a whirlwind of holiday PTO. My brain is basically mush this time of year, although mostly in a good, I’ve-been-busy-doing-things way. In all of the hubbub, it was the end of December before I knew it. Instead of trying to rush through a final newsletter of the year, I want to share this quote and reflection question from The Daily Compass, a ministry of the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Larger Fellowship, which I’ve been exploring the past couple of months. As they wrap up their recent focus on the topic of magic, they share:
Magick is a direct connection between our hearts and minds, our passion and will, and the Universe. It is the power of faith, the power of hope, the power of Love. When someone prays, they invoke Magick. When someone wishes, they invoke Magick. When someone dedicates and commits themselves, they invoke Magick. Magick is the manifestation and expression of the force of Life itself. It is Life creating and shaping the Universe. Magick is what it means to be alive and human. -Sean Owen (a CLF member incarcerated in UT)
How do you experience life creating and shaping the universe?
As we close our 2024 and look forward to what 2025 may bring, I’ll be reflecting on the magic of how we can co-create a better future together.
I’ll talk to you all in the new year!
