The sessions are on Saturdays \, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays\, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welcome t o come twice a week or once in a while.\n\nThe participants over the years have found that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, affectionate community of inquirers in which we read and converse\, are as important as the reading itself. While many small groups begin with a check-in\, with a session only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the conve rsation. Those who are frequently in the group get to know each other very well this way\, and those who are new will soon find they are among frien ds.\n\n\n\nFacilitators use a light hand\, posting the reading in the chat and calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings* come from group members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want to tr y that role.\n\nThe reading for this session\, Wednesday\, October 30\, 20 24\n\nEverybody is wondering what and where they all came fromEverybody is worrying about where they're going to go when the whole thing's done\nBut no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me\nI think I'll jus t let the mystery be\n\nSome say once gone you're gone forever\nAnd some s ay you're going to come back\nSome say you rest in the arms of the Saviour \nIf in sinful ways you lack\n\nSome say that they're coming back in a gar den\nBunch of carrots and little sweet peas\nI think I'll just let the mys tery be \;\n\nSome say they're going to a place called Glory\nAnd I ai n't saying it ain't a fact\nBut I've heard that I'm on the road to Purgato ry\nAnd I don't like the sound of that\nI believe in love and I live my li fe accordingly\nBut I choose to let the mystery be\n\n\n\nEverybody is won dering what and where they all came from\nEverybody is worrying about wher e they're going to go when the whole thing's done\nBut no one knows for ce rtain and so it's all the same to me\nI think I'll just let the mystery be \nI think I'll just let the mystery be\n\n—Iris Dement\, Let the Myster y Be\n\n\nPerformance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlaoR5m4L80&\;p p=ygUSbGV0IHRoZSBteXN0ZXJ5IGJl\nHow to join:\n\n\n\n Join this class from your Web browser: https://zoom.us/j/96865808923\, passcode 227385\n Join this class using the Zoom app: Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this cla ss by phone: +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Jo in this class by one-tap on mobile phones: +16699006833\,\,96865808923#  (San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but not in the Bay Area?  Find your local numb er: https://zoom.us/u/abL8clvIYT\n\nThis is the Zoom link for Wednesdays.

That proved misleading--for one thing\, more often than not our sources a re secular--but it's worth describing the qualities of a sacred text\, whi ch we still look for in the readings we choose. It is any reading that hel ps us to:\n\n connect to something of supreme importance to us\n feel mo re connected to other beings or to the universe\n feel more intensely ali ve\n align our lives with our values\,\n perceive or feel more deeply\n be more fully and authentically ourselves.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.uucpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09 /Resonant-Reading.png CATEGORIES:Adult,Learning,Ongoing Events,Small Groups END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Los_Angeles X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Los_Angeles BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
