Weekly Update 11/28/08
Weekly Update 11/28/08---Hope you had a meaningful holiday!! It’s so easy to feast your way, or cook and clean your way through this holiday without stopping for moment to be truly thankful for all that we do have. This is one of my favorite holidays, because I think gratitude is such an important spiritual practice. So I hope you got that moment, captured it in your soul, and will have to hold close to you when you get to one of those evitable grumpy moments we, each one of us, has from time to time.
I also hope that if you didn’t have family to spend the holiday with, you created a “family” of friends and strangers to make your day fun. I want to say a special thanks to those I got to spend Thanksgiving with, and to those who invited me to spend thanksgiving with them. Even if I didn’t end up at your dinner, I was sure glad for the invitations—since I don’t have any family here in town.
Bright Blessings on this bright November day!

Weekly Update 11/21/08
Weekly Update . . . as we near Thanksgiving our weather is turning brisk and sunny. Late autumn has its own charm, and I hope you are finding ways to enjoy it. I love making soups and stews this time of year, which I haven’t eaten all summer long.
Today, while munching on my stew at lunch, I thoughtfully chewed a bite of potato. I had left the skins on when I made it, and this one must have had a small pocket of earth remaining, as I got just a subtle taste of earth as a chewed. It shocked me with its rich, organic mustiness. Immediately, I was thrown into memories of planting gardens, the rich earth smell rising from the freshly tilled soil, or deep forests where each footstep overturns rich, loose soil, sending up a waft of rich, earthy splendor.
It made me realize again, just how easy it is to consume food without truly connecting with the powerful life-force that is a work to create it for us. My earthy-bite gave me a lucky reminder. I was able to pause and reflect on growing these potatoes. And on where the rest of the food came from. On the minor miracle it truly is, when we get to open our mouths, place food inside, and be nourished. It’s an awesome force of love at work in the universe. Our lives are sustained by the energy and resources of so many others, human and non-human.
This Thanksgiving, I hope that something will allow you to pause, with awareness and gratitude, and give thanks for this incredible richness that sustains us. I’m not saying you have to serve each of your Thanksgiving guests a spoonful of earth . . . but, you just might consider it!
Sunday:
8:45 am family choir rehearsal
9:30 am Service “Thanksgiving Festival with a Hunger Communion” Join us for a “Service For All Ages” as we celebrate the richness of life and all that we have for which to be thankful. In honor of those with gluten-free diets, this year’s communion uses rice cakes. We’ll have a “Parade of Food” so bring some non-perishable food items to carry up front for you and your kids for the FoodBank. Plus, the “Walkin’ the Talk” collection will be for the FoodBank as well.

Hello! Are you excited as I am to see what the next steps are, for each of us, in bringing change to our country?

I’m wondering what did it feel like, and how did you build up momentum to keep us moving forward? Let’s all work on this together, to be ready, will and able to help shape what is to come.
