“The violence of combat assaults psyches, confuses ethics, and tests souls…These compromises and violations are not generally discussed and their impact on a warrior’s mental health and soul is minimized, or even ignored entirely...”

#BraverWiser
A square graphic featuring a quote from Rev. Dr. Laura Solomon’s Braver/Wiser reflection “Us, Human, Here.” The background is white with splashes of red paint along the top and bottom edges. A large red heart illustration, appearing as if it is painted on cracked concrete, is featured in the lower right. The heart is visibly fractured down the middle. The quote reads: “Us, human, here, breaking and crying, crumbling and loving still: you are who I love. Your tenderness, your rage, your hope and hopelessness, your justice-seeking, your protesting, your loving us anyway: YOU ARE WHO I LOVE. —Rev. Dr. Laura Solomon in Us, Human, Here.” In the bottom right corner, there is the white UUA flaming chalice logo. Below the quote, the URL http://UUA.ORG appears in white text on the red background.
💔 As we begin this week, UU Rev. Dr. Laura Solomon reminds us that to be human is to break open—and still choose to care. Our questions, our fury, our tenderness all belong.
