“Breathe in each morning the magick of Life;
Breathe out each evening deep gratitude for living.
May love bless you and peace protect you all year long.”
“Mindfulness when struggling with addiction means doing things in a finite way in the moment. My son Daniel says it’s being peaceful.”
This week’s service will include a tribute to those among the undocumented who lost family members and loved ones in the terrorist attacks of September 11th, as well as a sermon dedicated to living life as a prayer.

Open Hands:
Bravo to our UU cousins in the UK who host this annual conference dedicated to exploring our theology.
We so appreciate Rev.Lewis Connelly‘s perspective of embracing “egalitarian imminent spirit” and the importance to not completely detach from our theology, as tends to happen in Unitarian Universalist strides to detach from all creeds and remain non-dogmatic. The overall sense throughout this discussion by the panel, as well as the audience, is about the importance of not forsaking the creation of shared “spiritual” context of our faith, even allowing mysticism in our theology, and the art of telling stories about the divine, and the art of listening to them. Rev. Sheena Gabriel reminds us that our movement has suffered from the lack of good theology, the kind that is an art, and a poetry, and an experience of the heart. She says it is important to bring the head and the heart together through mysticism. Rev. Sarah Tinker points out that our theology is a continual, ongoing process and that happens when we gather together, talk together, explore together.
Beginning this summer at Twinkle’s Place, we look forward to hosting panel discussions and small covenanted group ministries focused on heart based explorations of theology embedded in reason as we open to and access the egalitarian universalist spirit. Gatherings will focus on enhancing our UU spirituality and theological practices through exploration of theologies, philosophies and mysticisms.
