While our communal praying is always uplifting and meaningful, at this time of year it can also be useful to have quiet time to focus on the wisdom of others who may also provide us with enlightenment on the human condition, our own place in the world, and our relationships with each other.
In light of that, we have gathered together some readings in prose and poetry for review at your leisure. They have been written by a variety of people, with a variety of backgrounds, reflecting a variety of perspectives and insights. Our hope is that some of them will touch you and you will find resonance in reading them.
