Shared Spiritual Support
As the minister of Unity Chapel of Light, I am often asked to pray with the members and friends of the church about the circumstances that they face daily. I am happy to do so, and I take those requests seriously. A part of my job is to provide spiritual support, and there is no greater support than prayer support. Prayer support, to be effective, must be supportive of the highest vision of perfection that I can conceive of in any given situation.

What Happens to Seeds Inside Their Prisons
Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī
Gardener, listen to the grieving trees,
these tongueless ones with dying screech-marks on them.
There is a reason why the raven perches in the rose bower.
Where are the roses now?
Where is the jasmine? And the beautiful parrots?
There is no answer to his mocking.
The black-robed trees stand in silent groups,
Finally, the lordly heron, the village teacher, comes out.
Be patient three months more.
The lantern will be lit again.
Your denial and your doubt will turn to joy.
Stamp on the grave and call to the watchman,
Is it dawn yet?
The sweet-working sun will come back.
Remember the perfumes of March, the laughing,
the roads that look decorated for a holiday.
What happens to seeds inside their prisons
will happen to us in our houses.
The garden will bring out gifts it has hidden for years.
Presents, presence.
Now the crane folds his wings over the palace, saying,
Your need is your kingdom.
The nightingale enters, playing the lute, the dove cooing.
Other birds come with their songs.
This resurrection, this spring, is here now inside me.
Language cannot say it. Silence is lord.
Birds are landing all around us like arrows
with messages from placelessness tied to their legs.
~From: Rumi The Big Red Book
