“Transitions: and The Long Path From Homo heidelbergensis.” - Rev. Justin McCreary - Sunday, August 22, 2021

8/16/2021

Transitions are hard, I remember when I was in marching band so many years ago, we would spend considerable time on the transitions in the songs. Later when I would begin to preach regularly it was noted that transitions can be hard. We struggle individually and corporately with change. And I don’t know if we as a people ever became good at it. We crave stability, and safety, which is why insurance is such a big business. We need to feel safe from the changes that take place in our own worlds, so we build a bulwark against illness, financial collapse, and even try against death. It is written in our code because evolution demands survival, so we try to control everything around us, before learning we can’t. Sometimes all we can do is manage and ride the wave in the wake of change. But there’s a secret in all of this, a secret that if we understood we may be able to sleep better at night. The secret is that we are always in transition, we are always in flux, and the most important thing we can do, is let go.

The Reverend Justin M. McCreary is the minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Jackson. http://www.uujackson.org/  He also speaks regularly for other congregations. In the Jackson area, Rev. McCreary is well known for standing up for immigrants, racial justice, marriage equality and more. https://www.uujackson.org/about-uus/our-minister/
