However, many values that have long been associated with political and social conservatism in

Your Daily Book

Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto ·

2020/03/15

The poet Ross Gay undertook a year of writing, each day, about a delight he had observed that day, and published it as The Book of Delights. If you wrote down the things you observe about your day each evening as it ends, what would the resulting volume be about? Worry? Gratitude, as suggested by an upcoming workshop led by UUCPA member Susan Plass? Complaints? Nature? Happiness? Plans? . . . And what shape does this focus give the rest of your life?

The Danger of a Single Story

Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto ·

2020/02/16

The title comes from the novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who said in a talk, “The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.” We'll reflect on when we have been seen as one story, when we have seen others this way, and what we can do about it.
