Exploring the practice of waking up to a love that will not let us go.
Summary:
In this sermon, Rev. Alice King explores the Unitarian Universalist perspective on spiritual fulfillment, focusing on the needs of those who identify as “spiritual but not religious.” She suggests that while many search for meaning in distant travels or complex dogmas, true connection is often found by recognizing the sacredness of the mundane and the physical body. King argues that the primary human struggle is separation—from ourselves, each other, and the world—and that the remedy is found in restoring sacred bonds. To illustrate this, she highlights the practice of building altars to honor significant life moments, using small objects to ground the soul in holy ground. Ultimately, she encourages her congregation to see the entire world as an altar, finding divine depth within everyday experiences and a shared web of existence.
