August 2025 – Spiritual Theme

Our Monthly Spiritual Themes guide our Chalice Circles, which are small, intentional groups of members and friends that gather for spiritual enrichment through personal sharing. For more information on Chalice Circles, please email chalicecircles@uuprinceton.org. Our Chalice Circle thoughts and questions around the theme of Nature this month are:

“All my life through, the new sights of nature made me rejoice like a child.” –Marie Curie

What sights of nature delight you the most? Do you have a favorite place outdoors?

 

“Nature shows us that the only constant is change… if we allow it.” –Pattie Gonia

What wisdom have you learned from/within nature?
How do you apply that wisdom to your life?

“We need the tonic of wildness…At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.” –Henry David Thoreau

What personal experience have you had in wild, unpredictable, acts of nature?

 

“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make.” –Jane Goodall

How do you show your care for the earth?
