The Sound of Silence
by Rev. Raymond John Baughan
Skies are captured
in the lake
where fish dart
in the green of trees.
The heart holds
light and darkness
in its depths,
the dance
of life and death,
knowing the wind will blow.

Edibles in our Garden
We have a lot of mint here in addition to rhubarb and chives…friends, if you would like some, please stop by and help yourself to the produce of our gardens.
While you are here, you could also take a walk through Manson Park and along the beautiful Sebasticook River.
If you would like accompaniment on your walk, or a guided meditation, please let me know in advance and we can schedule your time here. Otherwise, feel free to stop by spur-of-the-moment and whether we are here or not, friends are welcome. <3
Introducing Pulpit of Peace
Religious Ecology – Rev. Michael Dowd at All Souls Tulsa
A Time for Everything
With eternity in our hearts
everything is made beautiful in its time.
a time to heal;
a time to build;
a time to laugh;
a time to dance;
a time to gather;
a time to embrace;
a time to mend;
a time for peace;
a time to love.
Scattered stones need weep no more, for the seeds planted and watered with tears of mourning give way to the seasons of happiness and the heavens rejoice as it is time.
Inspired by Peter Gabriel’s “The Book of Love” and Ecclesiastes 3 (NIV) and this moment in Time.

finding home
When you have found the most sacred place of belonging,
where your inner light recognizes
and is recognized by
those in your company,
you have found home.

A Million Little Things
It is not often we share/promote network programming. Let alone shows we’ve not even watched yet. However, this new series seems to be addressing some of the most important hidden topics experienced by the vast majority: the need for authentic connections, coping with hopelessness and depression, finding meaning in life, how every moment – every choice – matters and impacts others in often unforeseeable ways, facing our fears, and learning how to tend to the wounds in others while we heal our own hearts and minds. Here’s hoping the creators and producers are able to bring forward a show that opens the door for conversations about these things to be more freely spoken about.
