If A loves B,
And B loves C,
And C loves D.
If B loves E
And E loves F
And F loves G
If C loves H and I
And I loves J and K
And K loves M, N, O and P
And P and A once had a baby with Q
And R and H go to concerts with S
And T and V love E
And W and X like to go to the movies with D
And N and K go shopping for clothes with G
And every one of them is happy with the pinnate family
That they’ve built on love that branches and bends
Like the arching branches of a banyan tree...
Then Y does it matter to U?

(It both does and doesn't matter... whatever goes on between consenting sentient adults is *up to them*... it matters because sometimes some jerque or idiot thinks they shouldn't and makes a fuss. It also matters, and will matter more, because oftentimes people get into such a thing and screw up by the numbers... and at some point down the road I will be one of the people they turn to to pick up the pieces.)
(FWIW, if you hadn't seen, I'm on a track that leads to UU-affiliated seminary. Been taking care of people in various ways nearly three decades. Time to learn to do it right and make it my day job instead of wrangling these silicon-hearted bastards for enough free time to get out and do my Job...)

Hah, good one!
>>It also matters, and will matter more, because oftentimes people get into such a thing and screw up by the numbers... and at some point down the road I will be one of the people they turn to to pick up the pieces.<<
And see, that is a valid answer to the question, because what matters to you is making sure people are happy, healthy, and safe. Because you aren't a jerque or an idiot and you care about people on the level of their person-ness, not on their ability to be a fish who climbs trees. And sometimes mattering is good... and sometimes it isn't. I just want people to stop and ask themselves *why* it matters to them and if that's a good enough reason to risk upsetting folks by sticking a beak in where it's not wanted.
>>I'm on a track that leads to UU-affiliated seminary.<<
Good for you! Mom and I go to UU services sometimes, as a compromise on our mutual agreement that what faith works for one doesn't for the other, and our mutual desire to have communal faith-based activity with each other. It's nicely low-pressure either way.

So your occupation and your vocation weren't meshing up, and you've taken steps to correct the gap? Awesome. I like when people try putting vocation in their occupation, instead of trying to force their occupation to become their vocation.

I'm a 30-year heathern. My wife is culturally/tribally Jewish. We're both musical and activist-ish... The Congregation lets us sing together and get our activism on *together*... this is really kinda awesome.

My nephew, her son, joined the Young Religious Unitarian Universalists. I was delighted when he told me the abbreviation for it: YRUU.
