January Spiritual Theme – Crossroads

January Spiritual Theme – Crossroads
By Chalice Circle Facilitators

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 Linda Benson at chalicecircles@uuprinceton.org. Our Chalice Circle thoughts and questions around the theme of Crossroads this month are:

“If you come to a fork in the road, take it.” – Yogi Berra
When has the act of making of a decision in your life been more important than which path you chose?

“And having once chosen, never to seek to return to the crossroads of that decision — for even if one chooses wrongly, the choice cannot be unmade.” – Jaqueline Carey
What is something that you have learned from a choice wrongly made?

“At each point in our lives, we are at a crossroads. We are the fruit of our past and we are the architects of our future. If you want to know your past, look at your present circumstances. If you want to know your future, look at what is in your mind.” – Matthieu Ricard
What have you done to better inform your choices in life?

“Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you’ve had a bunch of bad days and there’s different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.” – Taylor Swift
In what ways have you coped when facing a crossroad in life?
