“We have got to go wherever this happens.”
A meditation on awe, offered at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Spartanburg, SC on October 1, 2017.
The meditation may be heard here:
From the meditation:
“How is it
that this experience of our own lives
in deep alignment
with such beauty & danger,
something right here
and also far beyond us
raises up in us
a desire
to share it
with others?
I don’t know.
But we should share it…
A full,
beautiful,
tragically finite,
boundlessly infinite
life
full of lightning,
as if embodied,
full of rain & storm,
grabbing us by the hand
to step into
awe
& live
anew
however briefly
or forever.”
Reading of Mary Oliver’s poem “The Humpbacks” by Anne Waters.
