The sessions are on Saturdays\, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays \, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welcome to come twice a week or onc e in a while.\n\nThe participants over the years have found that the appro ach 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 lon g\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the conversation. Those who are fre quently in the group get to know each other very well this way\, and those who are new will soon find they are among friends.\n\n\n\nFacilitators us e 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 a lso take turns facilitating\, if they want to try that role.\n\nThe readin g for this session: Wednesday\, July 9th\n\nA Shropshire Lad 31: On Wenloc k Edge the wood's in trouble\n\nOn Wenlock Edge the wood's in trouble\;\nH is forest fleece the Wrekin heaves\;\nThe gale\, it plies the saplings dou ble\,\nAnd thick on Severn snow the leaves.\n\n'Twould blow like this thro ugh holt and hanger\nWhen Uricon the city stood:\n'Tis the old wind in the old anger\,\nBut then it threshed another wood.\n\nThen\, 'twas before my time\, the Roman\nAt yonder heaving hill would stare:\nThe blood that war ms an English yeoman\,\nThe thoughts that hurt him\, they were there.\n\nT here\, like the wind through woods in riot\,\nThrough him the gale of life blew high\;\nThe tree of man was never quiet:\nThen 'twas the Roman\, now 'tis I.\n\nThe gale\, it plies the saplings double\,\nIt blows so hard\, 'twill soon be gone:\nTo-day the Roman and his trouble\nAre ashes under Ur icon.\n\n—A.

That proved misleading--for one thing\, more often than n ot our sources are secular--but it's worth describing the qualities of a s acred text\, which we still look for in the readings we choose. It is any reading that helps us to:\n\n connect to something of supreme importance to us\n feel more connected to other beings or to the universe\n feel mo re intensely alive\n align our lives with our values\,\n perceive or fee l 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:20250309T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
