This Palm Sunday, we pause to consider the story of Jesus ‘triumphant entrance into Jerusalem, not from the center of the crowd, but from the quiet perspective of the donkey. What does this humble creature know that the cheering throngs do not? Through the lens of Unitarian Universalist values—humility, interdependence, and reverence for all beings—we explore the wisdom of quiet service, the tension between triumph and truth, and the sacredness of overlooked companions. This reflection invites us to walk gently, listen deeply, and honor the steady presence that carries hope forward.
