In a universe with trillions of galaxies, each with hundreds of billions of stars, we should view our lives on this pale blue dot of a planet in a solar system on the edge of our galaxy with an appropriate amount of humility while embracing and treasuring the gift of experience that we all enjoy. What will it mean for us when we soon definitively discover that we are not alone and that the cosmos is teeming with life? We are not the center of the universe as so many past generations thought, but our lives and communities are nevertheless still important and possess inherent worth on this world that is our only home. Robert Arnold is a man for the moment. He provides eloquent, insightful, hopeful and sometimes angry analyses of the current state of our society. He is ‘a lot’. Apart from his on-line presence, Arnold published a book of his essays and poetry in 2025. You’ll find his writing evocative, provocative, and aligned with UU principles. This morning’s service is in our 5th Sunday format, even though it isn’t 5th Sunday. This format features a speaker, Walter Norris, who is a docent at the Dallas Holocaust Museum and will talk to us about visiting the museum, followed by an activity – painting stones with names of children who died in the Holocaust for the Upstander Stone Project which will be returned to the project and included in the Holocaust Garden of Hope in Kingwood Texas. Stones have long been and continue to be used as historical grave markers; Jewish people bring small stones to leave on their loved ones’ gravesites, as stones are permanent (as opposed to flowers) and serve as a reminder that memories of our loved ones last forever.
