Winter In conversing with one of my favorite wise women, she brought up how poeple used to ask Mother Theresa to attend their anti-war rallys. Mother Theresa whould always decline saying that an anti war rally gives energy to the very thing you want to get rid of and starves the thing you want to promote. She went on to sugest that they have a peace rally instead, to which she would gladly attend. At roughly the same time a bit of Cherokee Wisdom came to my in box "One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, The battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment Inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed." Seems to me the collective unconcious is calling for us to take responsability for our thoughts as well as our actions once again. What a grand rebirth this spring shall be if we all work on this even just a little this winter! |

Sunday Services Open Sunday Services, I'm sorry to say, will have to be closed to new members for a while due to limited space. However I do think supplementing with outings is a fabulous idea! It's just temporary, and we will resume services on the first and third Sunday of the month once we find a larger location but till then, thank you all for being so wonderful and for all your input. I feel blessed to be a part of all of your lives and to have all of you in mine. WE do still have the option of Labyrinth, Museum, or Woodsing trips as open events. All other ideas are welcome! |

While I have no doubt that he will take the town by storm, inspiring, enraging, and enritching the lives of all who will have the privelidge of knowing him and that the time he will have with his family will mean the world to all of them.

Did I forget your listing or do you have an event that you think should be here? Have a calendar to share? Would you like your group to have a link so people can find out more about your event? Send it to me and we'll see what we can do! Almost all of the actual events listed here are free, while the links provide a more in depth list services. I try to keep it that way with exceptions for the small suggested donations needed to keep us in candles! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
