I started my day with a call from my Kati M… so enjoyable to chat with folks who really know me. After her call I went to yet another UU Fellowship service. Another circle of people sharing their stories. I think this fellowship has something to do with my recent infatuation with stories and personal experiences. The questions for discussion were centered around the sacred. What makes something sacred? What in your religious heritage is still sacred to you? How do you experience the sacred? I took the mike for a second and explained that I still find music to be a sacred thing to share. (In response to the question about religious heritage.) It’s true, there’s something about blending voices and instruments that I find amazing. I also find nature’s solitude very sacred. Some other fascinating answers I heard were:
-the sacred is that which we seek to relieve the uneasiness in our hearts
-the sacred is that which we can destroy, but not create
-family is sacred
-being fully present is sacred

Another inspirational service at the UU Fellowship. Next week I’m going to a Quakers’ meeting. I look forward to it, but know that I’ll probably miss the UU.
Yet another trip to the river. This time Sean and Shale took us to their favorite spot. Glorious! We went exploring upstream and then rode the waves back to the spot we had set up camp at. We discussed what’s sacred to us as well after munching on potluck leftovers warmed in the sun over. I’m very sure that this is the life! It’s such a breathtaking place to live.

Questions:
-What is sacred to you? (Seriously, let’s get some conversation going here)
-How much solitude do I need in my life?
-How many people would appreciate this spiritual sampling that I’m doing?
