Message from Our Co-Associate Minister Rev. Inge Tarantola

Dear Friends in Unity,  

Things are looking up. It is spring, and that brings with  it the promise of summer, my favorite time of year. There  is a renewed life force surging throughout all of creation, which speaks of  optimism, imagination, and possibilities. My garden is coming into  bloom with a riot of colors. At our Unity center, we too can tap into that  renewed life force and play in our field of dreams.  

We, the ministerial team, want to look at this gift we call Unity of the  Valley through new eyes, to tap into that rich field brimming with that  optimism and imagination, and seeking those new possibilities. It is such  a joy to experience team work and the synergy that flows out of this  collaboration. I invite you to join with us in that flow. Dream with us, and be part of the new vision that is waiting to emerge.

This is the time for each of us to rise to new potential and explore our  green growing edges, and stretch our comfort zone in a safe and  supportive environment. Collectively, we can then accomplish more than  we can do individually — true synergy. Together we have an opportunity to make a huge difference and to grow together in our  collective spring. I am reminded of a poem titled “Spring,” by Unity  author Elizabeth Searle Lamb.

Here is an excerpt:

I feel a rising in my own heart
As the orbit of the earth
Turns toward the spring,
A faith in the ordering
Of God’s universe.  
I give thanks for spring.

God’s Richest Blessings,

Inge
