Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. Between the two, my life flows. ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj

Gabi will offer 4 class sessions this fall, starting 9/25, and then continuing on 10/2, 10/16, and 10/23, from 6 to 7:30 pm. Drop-ins are welcome.

Adult Faith & Spirituality DevelopmentAs Unitarian Universalists, we often describe ourselves as seekers of truth. What we mean is that we assume there is always more to learn about ourselves and the world we live in, and so we keep our minds and hearts open to new perspectives, new facts, and new insights. Our liberal tradition has never accepted religious claims to know the only truth, or the whole truth. We do not think there is only one way to God, or one definition of God, or one true religion. We recognize that there are many perspectives, many beliefs, and many truths to be learned and understood. Therefore, religious education for us is a commitment to a life-long process of learning. ― Rev. Jill McAllister, People’s Church, Kalamazoo, Michigan

Messenger | Mary Oliver
My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird-- equal seekers of sweetness. Here the quickening yeast; there the blue plums. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work, |
which is mostly standing still and learning to be
astonished. The phoebe, the delphinium. The sheep in the pasture, and the pasture. Which is mostly rejoicing, since all the ingredients are here, which is gratitude, to be given a mind and a heart and these body-clothes, a mouth with which to give shouts of joy to the moth and the wren, to the sleepy dug-up clam, telling them all, over and over, how it is that we live forever. |

“How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em.”
― Shel Silverstein
