December Spiritual Theme – Journey

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 Journey this month are:

“Sometimes it’s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.” – Drake

What did you learn along the way that you only realized when you reached your destination?

“There will always be obstacles and challenges that stand in your way. Building mental strength will help you develop resilience to those potential hazards so you can continue on your journey to success.” – Amy Morin

What are the mental strengths and resilient qualities that have helped you on your journeys?

“I never feel lonely if I’ve got a book – they’re like old friends. Even if you’re not reading them over and over again, you know they are there. And they’re part of your history. They sort of tell a story about your journey through life.” – Emilia Fox

What books are your old friends? What do they tell about you?

“Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough.” – Charles Dudley Warner

What baggage would you need to let go of to simplify your journey?
