This past Sunday at UUCG we honored Memorial Day and the people who have served and
sacrificed their lives for our country in military service. As part of our theme for this
month, Living Love Through the Practice of Imagination, we explored what Memorial
Day means, as well as pondering where we go from here after so much pain in the past
from wars. I want to share a song that Sweet MUUsic, our house band, shared with the
congregation. It’s about imagining a future where we all are safe, free, and living in
harmony. This song is a wish for better days.

Soon the Day Will Arrive
Soon the day will arrive, when we will be together,
And no longer will we live in fear
And the children will smile without wondering
Whether on that day thunderclouds will appear
Chorus
Wait and see, wait and see
What a world there can be if we share, if we care,
You and me
Wait and see, wait and see
What a world there can be
If we share, if we care, you and me.
Some have dreamed, some have died
To make a bright tomorrow, and our vision
Remains in our hearts
Now the torch must be passed
With new hope, not in sorrow
And a promise to make a new start
If you would like to listen to the song, here is a recording of the choir of First Unitarian Church of Baltimore performing it.
The song by the choir, and the choir itself are magical. Thank you so much.
I want to explain why I am obviously from far away (my Boston accent comes through the wires, I am told.) and why was I asking about?QUUest? I have three grandchildren, ages 18, 14, and 9 who are avid D & D players. One is the head. (I don’t know the term for it – I’m the grandma) at his school. So I saw your group and was very very curious about it. All of the kids, as the parents of two preachers, are very very involved in their church and the youth groups. I think they would be very interested in knowing more about how you bring.UU values and spirituality interwoven with D&D. I look forward to “talking“ with you about this. Susan.
