Yes, we feel and think of ourselves as individuals. But we inter-are with all that is: personal, familial, organizational, political, ecological, spiritual relationships—all those connections that are not ours alone. We are part of a crowd, in a crowded world. We struggle with both over-connection and isolation. This month’s theme is covenant: “A covenant [a promise to be in relationship] is a living, breathing aspiration made new everyday.” (Rev. Victoria Safford) Our covenants and promises made outwardly and inwardly and consciously can help us feel connected in both right and freeing relationship.
