Summer 2010

From the second Sunday of June through the first Sunday after Labor Day the Unitarian Church of Hinsdale enjoys a summer holiday from formal activities.

A daily quote keeps members and friends in a thoughtful state of mind, as well as engaged in meaningful reflection.

If a particular quote inspires you, please leave an appropriate comment. In this fashion, though we won't be meeting face to face, we can engage in a virtual conversation.

Theodore Roethke

Constricted by my tortured thought
I am too centered on this spot.
So caged, so cadged, so close within
A coat of unessential skin.
I would put off myself and flee
My inaccessibility.
A fool can play being solemn
Revolving on his spinal column.
Deliver me, O Lord, from all
Activity centripetal.
