You know, I think it&#8217;s important for me to start this week by saying you&#8217;re doing great.<br>[00:00:15]<br>Seriously, congratulations. You&#8217;re doing great. You&#8217;re you. And we we&#8217;re living through, at least two history book<br>chapters right now.<br>[00:00:24]<br>Simultaneously, we are adapting to sweeping and unexpected mass societal changes that are brought on by a<br>global pandemic that has been with us for three months now.<br>[00:00:40]<br>And we are living through the emotional upheaval now of a new civil rights movement focused on protecting black<br>Americans from police violence.<br>[00:00:54]<br>And we&#8217;re living through all of the questions and the confusion that that brings up for each of us about our identity,<br>our family members, our communities, our own internalized beliefs about race and equality in this country.<br>[00:01:08]<br>And by the way, notice I said we&#8217;re living through at least two history book chapters because I know that some of<br>us are beginning to ask if our democracy is strong enough to make it through the next six months. And I know that<br>some of us had trees blown down in the storm this week and have no air conditioning in our homes right now. And<br>it is a lot. You are living with a lot.<br>[00:01:43]<br>You&#8217;re doing great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:01:46]<br>I know that you&#8217;re doing great because you&#8217;re here. You&#8217;re making the time to connect with each other and to feed<br>your soul. And that means that you&#8217;re still hungry for what&#8217;s good. In this life and yes, I am preaching to myself as<br>much as I&#8217;m preaching to you, but I am preaching to you.<br>[00:02:11]<br>You&#8217;re doing great.<br>[00:02:16]<br>This feeling of all of these things layered on top of each other, including the hot weather. It&#8217;s actually what led me<br>to choose our movie to open our Spirit Flicks message series for the summer. This week, every summer at<br>Wellspring&#8217;s, we choose a different story. Each week, a movie or a television show to dig a little bit deeper into the<br>meaning behind those stories that we watch on our screens. And this week, I decided we would start for this<br>summer with an American classic.<br>[00:02:52]<br>Do the right thing.<br>[00:02:54]<br>It may be hard for some of you to believe that this movie is more than 30 years old. Now, though, if you watch it,<br>you will see the 30 years younger versions of a lot of people Samuel L. Jackson, Martin Lawrence, John Turturro,<br>Rosie Perez, and, of course, the film&#8217;s creator, Spike Lee, himself three decades younger.<br>[00:03:17]<br>The movie chronicles one day, one very hot day in the Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.<br>And I do want to say, if you haven&#8217;t seen this movie, I hope that you will watch it. It&#8217;s such a real and honest movie.<br>It&#8217;s funny. It&#8217;s devastating. Which is to say, it&#8217;s very true to life.<br>[00:03:48]<br>And even though I can&#8217;t preach about it today without talking about the ending, I hope that you still watch it<br>anyway. If you haven&#8217;t seen it, because there&#8217;s so much to this movie beyond how it ends.<br>[00:04:05]<br>It is the violence, though, at the end of this film that ultimately clinched my decision to preach about it this week,<br>because in the closing scenes of this movie, we see the same exact thing that we&#8217;ve seen in the news this week.<br>[00:04:22]<br>We see a police officer murder a black man.<br>[00:04:30]<br>Radio Raheem, a guy who walks around the neighborhood in a bed sty do or die t shirt with his glorious giant<br>boombox that takes 20 D batteries to power. And I am going to speak about what happens at the end of this film<br>right now, so I&#8217;m giving you some notice. If your heart can&#8217;t take hearing one more story like this, especially for<br>people in our community who are people of color who are watching right now and don&#8217;t want to hear one more<br>story about the threat to your bodies, go ahead and mute me for about a minute. About 60 seconds. At the end of<br>this long, hot day in the movie, the police show up to break up a brutal fight between Radio Raheem and Sal, the<br>pizza shop owner. And the cops pull Rahim off of cell when they get there, and then I think it&#8217;s important to make<br>this as clear as day. Then they do something that they did not need to do. They pull Rahim up off of Sal. But then<br>one cop lifts him up with his feet off the ground, lifts him up in a chokehold. After a few seconds, his partner can<br>even be heard saying, come on, come on, that&#8217;s enough. But the police officer keeps his grip on Rahim until his<br>body stops moving and he falls to the ground.<br>[00:06:12]<br>They murder him. It&#8217;s exactly as disturbing as it should be.<br>[00:06:23]<br>Do the Right Thing was released in 1989. I was six years old. The character of Radio Raheem was based off of a real<br>person, a man named Michael Stewart, who was murdered by police in a New York City subway station in 1983. Six<br>years before the movie was released, the year that I was born.<br>[00:06:53]<br>When I learned that, I knew that I had to choose this movie to talk about this week. Because the very same crime<br>that&#8217;s still happening today. Here it is plain for all of us to see in a movie made 30 years ago. And here I am, a good<br>progressive white woman who honestly didn&#8217;t even start paying attention to these crimes, to the unnecessary<br>violent killings of people of color by police in America until 2014. Until Eric Garner was killed in New York. And then<br>Mike Brown was killed in Ferguson in the same year.<br>[00:07:42]<br>I&#8217;m embarrassed to admit that. I was not paying attention before them. But it&#8217;s true. I didn&#8217;t recognize the gravity<br>or the frequency. Of how these murders keep happening before 2014.<br>[00:08:04]<br>And one of the things that is changed now, of course, right, is that we are in an era of cell phones and video and<br>going live on social media. And so people are able to broadcast gruesomely horribly, are able to broadcast and<br>show us these murders. Now.<br>[00:08:27]<br>But here we were 30 years ago. Spike Lee had already put it on the screen for all of us to see.<br>[00:08:39]<br>He put it on the screen and such a brutal and beautiful container. Two hours in this movie of slices from this single<br>day in Brooklyn. Just an unflinching mix of the joy and the pain of living alongside people who you love and who<br>piss you off on a hot day in the middle of systems and circumstances that leave all of us with no perfect choices.<br>And that sets none of us up to be at our best. Sounds a lot in some ways like what we&#8217;ve all been facing these past<br>three months. How imperfect all of our choices sometimes feel right now when we know that so much is not<br>working the way it should, when so much in this world is broken down. And we sometimes feel helpless or worn<br>down or inadequate to meet the moment or just imperfect to. There is a time for movies and stories that ask us to<br>face up to our pain. But part of why I was moved to talk about this film at this moment is because of the way that<br>Spike Lee doesn&#8217;t just hold the pain. He holds the joy around the same story. As a film maker in this movie, Spike<br>Lee holds so much roomy and abundant compassion for his characters.<br>[00:10:12]<br>Every human in this film is allowed to be human. Presented just as they are.<br>[00:10:21]<br>And somehow, without being saccharin in the least. And with all the ugly moments of our worst nature that Lee<br>leaves on the screen, I think because of that. Right. Because of this movie being honest about the full range of our<br>human nature with all of that, somehow this movie is hopeful. There&#8217;s a single moment in the film. Only one time<br>when Spike Lee breaks the fourth wall. That&#8217;s what they call it in film when a fictional character. Right. Normally<br>you&#8217;re watching the action. But when you break the fourth wall, the character turns and speaks directly to the<br>camera, directly to the viewer. And in this movie, that moment is when Radio Raheem, about halfway through the<br>movie, he holds up both of his fists. And he has two brass knuckle rings on his hands on the left hand.<br>[00:11:21]<br>It says hate. And on the right hand it says love. And he says the story of life is this. Static.<br>[00:11:36]<br>Static between the left hand and the right hand, one hand, he says. Always fighting the other hand. And he says<br>just when it looks like the left hand is winning and the right hand love is finished. But hold on. Stop the presses.<br>Right. Right hand is coming back.<br>[00:11:55]<br>Boom. Left hand hate knocked out by love.<br>[00:12:05]<br>It&#8217;s a moment where the filmmaker wants us to notice and pay attention.<br>[00:12:12]<br>And it&#8217;s pretty much as good a universalist sermon as I&#8217;ve ever heard.<br>[00:12:19]<br>Left hand hate knocked out by love and the fight all the way to get there.<br>[00:12:26]<br>It&#8217;s not that we as human beings are too good or too perfectible and wonderful to become angels to to earn our<br>way into the good life.<br>[00:12:38]<br>It&#8217;s that that God whose other name is love. The greatest love we can imagine is two powerful. It&#8217;s that love wins.<br>That love is too good to damn any of us. And we&#8217;ll save us all in the end.<br>[00:13:00]<br>That love is out here fighting towards that goal every single day, calling us in every imperfect and hard and<br>exhausted moment to back it up. Even if we can&#8217;t do it that day, love never stops asking or fighting.<br>[00:13:19]<br>Love never gives up. Love calls to us forever.<br>[00:13:29]<br>The title of the movie Do the Right Thing. It&#8217;s a line also in the film. It&#8217;s spoken by Ossie Davis, the actor himself a<br>civil rights activist who, by the way, was married to Ruby Dee, the actress who plays mother sister in the movie. In<br>real life, Ossie Davis, his character is this guy that everybody calls the mayor, just like every other character in this<br>movie. We learned the broad spectrum of his humanity, the good and the bad, the shades of every gray in<br>between. We we know that the mayor uses alcohol to numb the pain of trauma, and he has lived through some<br>hard things. We know from this movie that he has the capacity to love and to rage, to be protective and to<br>manipulate. We&#8217;d like him and we dislike him at different turns. All throughout this film, when the mayor stops<br>Mooky, the main character of the film, as he&#8217;s walking down the street, he drops that title as a total non sequitur<br>out of the blue Mooky. He says, getting his attention. This is the mayor talking. Mooky stops. And he says, always<br>do the right thing.<br>[00:14:50]<br>And Mooki says, that&#8217;s it. That&#8217;s it. I got it. I&#8217;m gone.<br>[00:14:58]<br>The way that this exchange goes, it reminds me of how I think we all sometimes interact with our principles. Do the<br>right thing.<br>[00:15:10]<br>Yeah, I know.<br>[00:15:13]<br>The inherent worth and dignity of every person that we affirm is Unitarian Universalist. Our mission at Wellspring&#8217;s<br>to be a community chargeable with a charge of the soul or one nation with liberty and justice for all, we know the<br>words.<br>[00:15:29]<br>This happens with any mission statement, any prayer, any creed, anything especially that maybe we were forced to<br>repeat.<br>[00:15:39]<br>Growing up, I got it. I&#8217;m gone.<br>[00:15:46]<br>Sometimes our values just feel like words.<br>[00:15:51]<br>They feel weak. Compared especially to the living, breathing chaos that&#8217;s around us. And sometimes they die on<br>the page. But when we are awake. Then we notice all around us and every moment of every day that we are<br>always being presented with opportunities to let them live.<br>[00:16:23]<br>And like every living thing, those words get a lot more complicated when they alive and breathing in us.<br>[00:16:32]<br>They get tricky and thorny. They ask us to take risks. To grow, to be uncomfortable.<br>[00:16:43]<br>Love wins the inherent worth and dignity of every person. Always do the right thing.<br>[00:16:55]<br>And every turn in this movie, it presents us with the most natural of follow up questions.<br>[00:17:02]<br>What is the right thing?<br>[00:17:08]<br>It&#8217;s the mayor who says it in the film. But we watch him try to live it. The whole movie, and sometimes he tries and<br>sometimes he fails. And while sometimes we don&#8217;t know one of the scenes that I can not get out of my head from<br>this film. Is this remarkable scene that&#8217;s just kind of sliced in there where the mayor saves the life of a young boy in<br>the neighborhood. There&#8217;s a car suddenly speeding down the street and this old man puts his body on the line. He<br>risks his own injury or his death even to jump and throw this child out of the way on the street. It&#8217;s just a flash<br>sandwiched into an ordinary day, right? No big buildup. He just sees that bright, clear moment and he does what<br>he can to protect a life. And then not 90 seconds later, the boy&#8217;s mom comes out onto the street and she&#8217;s angry at<br>the boy for not being more careful and she starts to hit him. And the mayor again jumps in and says there&#8217;s no<br>need for that, that boy needs care and understanding. He&#8217;s scared. He just made a mistake. And then the mother<br>comes back with her own understanding to the mayor. She says, I&#8217;m his parent. I&#8217;ll decide how to parent him.<br>[00:18:32]<br>And the mayor backs down.<br>[00:18:36]<br>It was one of the more challenging scenes in the film for me, but the truth is there are a lot of scenes like that in<br>this film. It&#8217;s repeated endlessly all throughout. People trying to do the best they can with the situation in front of<br>them. Who succeed sometimes and who fail sometimes.<br>[00:18:57]<br>Who are noble in one moment and self protective in the next. They&#8217;re principled for a heartbeat and then they<br>compromise with the person in front of them. Spike Lee as a filmmaker is masterful at keeping us with them. In<br>those moments. They and we, we are reminded, are so utterly human.<br>[00:19:26]<br>We are principled one moment and we compromise the next.<br>[00:19:30]<br>We are heroic in one second and avoidant. And the next. We are all trapped in so many inhuman systems and<br>cycles and stories that leave us confused.<br>[00:19:47]<br>And distanced. From what the right thing really is.<br>[00:19:56]<br>It reminds me of that feeling when I was a kid and I go to a birthday party and an adult would string up a pinata.<br>[00:20:04]<br>All right. We&#8217;ve probably all been that kid or maybe as an adult, but the adult would string up a pinata and hand<br>me a wiffle bat and blindfold me and spin me around and around.<br>[00:20:21]<br>I can still remember that disoriented feeling knowing I had a goal and that it was a good goal and that everybody<br>around me was just trying to have fun.<br>[00:20:32]<br>And it was all part of the game, but also feeling queasy and lost.<br>[00:20:43]<br>I realized watching this movie, I&#8217;ve had that exact feeling a lot lately when I look at our world and I try to think<br>about doing the right thing.<br>[00:20:57]<br>Maybe you&#8217;ve had that feeling, too.<br>[00:21:01]<br>And the truth is, we can play games with pinatas and with candy. The stakes are low, but with human beings and<br>lives and hearts and our safety, these are not games. Disorientation in these moments is dangerous.<br>[00:21:23]<br>What we need is clarity.<br>[00:21:27]<br>We need to put a hand up to any system that tries to blindfold and spin us around. We need to refuse to take part.<br>[00:21:38]<br>These times that we&#8217;re living through, they&#8217;re not times to be playing games, whether political or economic,<br>whether games about ego and power or who wins and loses. These are times for us all to insist upon the clearest<br>sight.<br>[00:21:57]<br>The clearest sight of our values.<br>[00:22:01]<br>To live them instead of letting them lay dead somewhere on a page.<br>[00:22:09]<br>What does our vision look like when it comes to life? How do we make the world whole? What choices must we<br>make to honor the worth of every person? And how do we stay full of that charge of the soul?<br>[00:22:33]<br>Many of us know where that wine comes from. And Wellspring&#8217;s mission statement. If you don&#8217;t, it&#8217;s from the<br>opening stanza of the poet Walt Whitman&#8217;s I Sing the Body Electric.<br>[00:22:47]<br>He says, I sing the body electric. The armies of those I love in girth, me and I, and girth them. They will not let me<br>off till I go with them, respond to them and dis corrupt them and charge them full with the charge of the soul.<br>[00:23:17]<br>This is not just an individual belief that we gather around here at Wellspring&#8217;s. It&#8217;s not just a belief in each one of us<br>feeling charged up and ready to go. It&#8217;s about dis corrupting whole communities, armies of those we love<br>connected and embracing and refusing to let go until we see and honor that connection, acknowledging that the<br>charge of life that is mine is yours, too, and yours is mine.<br>[00:23:51]<br>Singing that this body that all bodies are electric. A literal scientific current of charge and breath runs between us<br>all.<br>[00:24:06]<br>A friend posted a quote this week online, and I copied it onto my own Facebook pages from the black activist<br>Angela Davis. She says you have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world and you have to do it<br>all the time.<br>[00:24:26]<br>Especially for those of us who maybe are like me, who live in relative comfort, who hold any kind of position where<br>we influence others. And you don&#8217;t have to be a minister to hold a position of influence. We influence our families,<br>our coworkers, our communities, our friends, our congregations. We have to remind people that words are just<br>words, unless we live them, unless we wrestle with the risk and the inevitable cycles of success and failure that<br>come with insisting on this world made whole. With this world where all people are treated as full human beings<br>and where we recognize that life has worth more than net worth or property worth or reputation or buildings or<br>comfort or peace and quiet life has worth.<br>[00:25:22]<br>People have worth.<br>[00:25:27]<br>That belief, if you live, it will change you. It has the potential to change everything. And if you are lucky. It will keep<br>on changing you until the day that you die.<br>[00:25:46]<br>You will just keep on getting closer and closer as you go to that big, expansive heart that we trust in. As<br>universalists. The heart that can hold it all. The God whose other name is love. I&#8217;ve read about a lot of big changes<br>this week. And I am hopeful.<br>[00:26:13]<br>I&#8217;m hopeful that the noise that&#8217;s being made in the streets, as inconvenient or uncomfortable as it might be or even<br>dangerous or hard to watch for some of us. I&#8217;m hopeful that it is doing exactly what it was intended to do.<br>[00:26:29]<br>Which is to get us all paying attention.<br>[00:26:32]<br>I hear many of you saying that more of your friends, your family, your extended family members are starting to<br>wake up and say some new things and new ways that you had not heard them speak before. I see stories shared of<br>cities and local governments beginning to question why we have pumped money into local police forces, given<br>them military equipment. Asked them to fill gaps in our communities, our mental health systems that are not the<br>police problems to solve.<br>[00:27:06]<br>In the city of Los Angeles, the mayor announced on Thursday that he&#8217;s pulling one hundred and fifty million dollars<br>out of the police budget and redirecting it towards spending on community programs. In Minneapolis, the city&#8217;s<br>school district has ended their contract with the local police. Committing to find other ways to staff their schools<br>that will better address community safety. And here in Philadelphia. A small thing, but I think a move in the right<br>direction. After a few really difficult days in our city, the police commissioner, Danielle Outlaw, she made a minor<br>but very necessary change to the use of force policy for our police force, requiring that any officer who chooses to<br>engage force report it via a police radio in the moment.<br>[00:28:03]<br>To say out loud what they are about to do. Not to write a report. Or justify it later with words, but to name to<br>everybody on that radio what they are about to do as they live it, requiring the smallest of pauses. But a pause that<br>may help someone recognize that question. Is this the right thing to do? In this moment. If you&#8217;re watching with us<br>on Sunday morning and if you would like to.<br>[00:28:43]<br>Maybe you have things that you are seeing shift. Things that you might like to share with us. You can type it into<br>the chat. What are the signs of hope?<br>[00:28:54]<br>That you&#8217;re noticing.<br>[00:28:56]<br>What do you see these days that reminds you that this discomfort that we are feeling in this moment is worth<br>something?<br>[00:29:05]<br>That it is making and we are making a difference. These things that give us some hope, we have to keep seeing<br>them and naming them and sharing them with each other. Not because it&#8217;s a way to shut out the reality of what&#8217;s<br>disturbing us. Not at all. As a way to keep us going. As a way to remember that we are capable of change and we<br>are capable of growth, and not only that, we must keep growing.<br>[00:29:41]<br>To live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[00:29:44]<br>And let me suggest something. If you name something that gives you hope. If you talk about something you&#8217;re<br>seeing around you that makes you feel like we are in the right direction, like we are on the right track. And<br>somebody else says, yeah, but that&#8217;s not enough.<br>[00:30:00]<br>That&#8217;s OK. Let yourself wonder if they&#8217;re right.<br>[00:30:07]<br>Ask yourself. Maybe it&#8217;s not enough.<br>[00:30:12]<br>Maybe when you meet that person, you&#8217;ve encountered your next teacher.<br>[00:30:18]<br>You&#8217;ve encountered someone who believes it&#8217;s possible to radically transform this world even more than you could<br>imagine. This is how we look around. And see clearly. All of these imperfect systems that we are a part of. It&#8217;s how<br>we take off our blindfolds. And put down or whiffle bats. And orient ourselves again. Letting our insides settle.<br>Letting the dizziness subside. And refocusing on our goal. A life lived abundantly for all people. A world where we<br>are all safe and loved. May we reflect that world back to each other wherever we can? Wherever we see it. And<br>may we fight to make it possible? To do the right thing.<br>[00:31:29]<br>And each moment that we can. I mean.
