A Time to Be Born
In Person, Facebook Live and YouTube. “A time for every purpose under heaven,” the poet of Ecclesiastes wrote, naming the way in which time is not a generic commodity, but a moment-to-moment emergence. Let us celebrate the return of the sun and the stories that remind us of a hope that moves at the speed of life.

Miraculous Moments
In Person, Facebook Live and YouTube. When our thinking stays static in a framework of linear time, every minute appears to be a means to a future end, a resource to be used in the production of eventual outcomes. How do we remind ourselves that each moment is sacred beyond any utility?

In Our Own Good Time
In Person, Facebook Live and YouTube. Digital devices buzz and chime, push little red bubbles counting the new notifications demanding our attention, all designed to activate our sense of urgency. How do we claim our authority to use a deeper rhythm to set the pace of our activity?

Shimmering, Shuddering Convergence
In Person, Facebook Live and YouTube. The mystics all agree: the cacophony of everything intertwining with everything is God’s love song of the universe. In this bejeweled net, nothing is inseparable. Let us grieve and rejoice, weaving our strands into the never-ending tapestry of hurt and healing.

Bound Together
In Person, Facebook Live and YouTube. Religion has its root in the Latin verb religare, “to bind together.” Perhaps honoring our connectedness while still pursuing the joy of freedom could be a remedy for living in a society as anxious as ours.

Even the Coconut Tree
In Person, Facebook Live and YouTube. None of us fell out of a coconut tree—we are all connected to the vast network of all that is. In this web, even the coconut tree and whatever falls out of it are part of a larger story and context.
