We offer a trio of perspectives on our 2009 theme Beholding the Light:  Jean's reflection on her recent illness and the experience of compassionate support; Unitarian minister Chuck Freeman's challenge to re-vision our country's worldview, our need for grounding democratic principles in shared spiritual wisdom, so that we can move into a life-affirming planetary future; and Marie Angele's offering on contemplative Beholding that is nurtured with Creativitiy as a spiritual practice.  To view this latest edition,
