All of us have been lied to or let down, says spiritual teacher David Richo. Yet despite our pain, we can grow in resilience and the skill of discernment. We keep the heart open and proceed with caution. On this day when UUSS members will vote on a budget, a strategic plan, and a slate of lay leaders, we consider trust and transparency in community life as we bring the best of ourselves to each day we’re given to live.
