Unitarian Universalism's key symbol is the flaming chalice, the living light. But our chalice also holds the healing waters of community and the diverse flowers of the earth; it can even be empty, bringing us to the mystery. The chalice is empty the way the universe is empty – vast but all encompassing.

The empty spaces - the silence - allows us to hear the music, take a breath, ground ourselves. It brings us back to all the quiet undercurrents that connect us and all the beings on the earth.

The Rev. Fiona Heath is a UU minister with the Unitarian Congregation in Mississauga, Ontario.
