Rev. Lynn Ungar
What if you thought of it
as the Jews consider the Sabbath -
the most sacred of times.
Cease from travel.
Cease from buying or selling.
Give up, just for now,
on trying to make the world
different than it is.
Sing. Pray. Touch only those
to whom you commit your life.
Center down.
And when your body has become still,
reach out with your heart.
Know that we are connected
in ways that are terrifying and beautiful.
(You could hardly deny it now.)
Know that our lives
are in one another's hands.
(Surely, that has come clear,)
Do not reach out your hands.
Reach out your heart.
Reach out your words.
Reach out all the tendrils
of compassion that move, invisibly,
where we cannot touch.
Promise this world you love -
for better or worse,
in sickness and in health,
so long as we shall live.

Lewis Miller, the owner of floral design company Lewis Miller Design, has been transforming New York City’s grittiest spots into giant flower displays for years. He calls them "flower flashes," and it's probably scientifically impossible not to smile while looking at them. Lately, Miller has been creating gorgeous works of art around the city in honor of health care workers, and for everyday people who just need a little more color in their lives. "With the city being so desolate and people being stuck inside, and it being a cold, dismal spring, we needed hope," he said.

These elegant pointy trees in the remote Tasmanian highlands are called pencil pines, and right now is their time to shine. The ancient trees can live for a thousand years, but they only bear seed cones every once in a while. This rare event, known as masting, last took place in 2015. Now, in the middle of everything else going on in the world, it’s happening again. Some scientists have made
the trek to Tasmania’s elegant wilderness to harvest these
precious seeds to make sure the trees always have a future.
And the view isn’t too bad, either.
Smiles for Sunday ...
