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 Love this month are:

This was love: a string of coincidences that gathered significance and became miracles.
– Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in Half of a Yellow Sun

Which coincidences became significant in your life? Did they lead to a kind of love or something else?

 

As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.
– John Green in The Fault in Our Stars

Do you believe in love at first sight? Or is it a slower process? Or both?

 

We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.
― Robert Fulghum in True Love

When has someone found a weirdness of yours to be compatible? Did it lead to a kind of love?

 

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
― Maya Angelou

Who in your life makes or made you feel a kind of love?
