I recently came across an inspiring study from Dacher Keltner's lab at UC Berkeley. Keltner, the author of the book Awe, has been researching this powerful emotion for decades. The study's findings are remarkable and offer a simple yet effective way to cultivate more joy and positivity in our lives. Researching the Awe WalkThe researchers conducted a randomized controlled trial with 60 participants aged 75 and older (Sturm and colleagues, 2022).

Dear Cottage friends,As I write, snow is falling in Washington, DC. It is quiet; we are wrapped in silence. It feels like a holy gift, the welcome grace of a noiseless night. Yesterday, many of you wrote or commented on the news I shared about the lawsuit filed by some of our denominations to protect the freedom of religion we cherish. A large number of you remarked that the case gave you hope. Today, I share Wendell Berry’s “A Poem on Hope” as words of wisdom on this Wednesday.

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedThe clearing rests in song and shade. It is a creature madeBy old light held in soil and leaf,By human joy and grief,By human work,Fidelity of sight and stroke,By rain, by water onThe parent stone. We join our work to Heaven's gift,Our hope to what is left,That field and woods at last agreeIn an economyOf widest worth. High Heaven's Kingdom come on earth. Imagine Paradise. O Dust, arise!

THE PEACE OF WILD THINGSby Wendell BerryWhen despair for the world grows in meand I wake in the night at the least soundin fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,I go and lie down where the wood drakerests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild thingswho do not tax their lives with forethoughtof grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind starswaiting with their light.

If you have been paying even the lightest attention to public discourse, you will know that trans people are hurting right now. When I transitioned back in 1993, the traditional media in both the United Kingdom and the United States barely mentioned us, except for occasional mockery. We were just too hidden. Then trans people grew in confidence, and things got better for us. I thought it would just keep going that way. It has not.

Respect, I think, always implies imagination-- the ability to see one another, across our inevitable differences, as living souls.
