Religious Education at Home for preschoolers, kids, youth and adults
There are lots of phrases about pockets. Being “in the pocket” means being perfectly on tempo and flowing with the groove. When we’re “out of pocket” we’re unavailable or out of reach. We sometimes discover “a pocket of rest” or “a pocket of joy” in our day. Things we “put in our pocket” are tucked into our consciousness to draw on later.May you find that A Pocketful of Principles helps you stay in the flow, connected, rested, joyful and equipped for all that life brings your way.
May it help you keep your UU faith close at hand and put to good use in your own life, at the ready whenever and wherever you need a dose of wisdom or hope, clarity or compassion.
