The sessions are on Saturdays\, 4-5. All are wide open and you are welcome to come weekly or once in a whi le.\nThe reading for this session: Saturday\, September 26\n\n\n\n\n\nSpri ng and Fall\n\n\nMargaret\, are you grieving\nOver Goldengrove unleaving?\ nLeaves\, like the things of man\, you\nWith your fresh thoughts care for\ , can you?\nAh! as the heart grows older\nIt will come to such sights cold er\nBy and by\, nor spare a sigh\nThough worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie\;\ nAnd yet you will weep and know why.\nNow no matter\, child\, the name:\nS orrow's springs are the same.\nNor mouth had\, no nor mind\, expressed\nWh at heart heard of\, ghost guessed:\nIt is the blight man was born for\,\nI t is Margaret you mourn for.\n--Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889)\n\n\n\nT he 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 Readi ng jumps right in to the conversation. Those who are frequently in the gro up 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 use a light hand\, p osting the reading in the chat and calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. S uggestions for readings* come from group members\, who also take turns fac ilitating\, if they want to try that role.\n\n\n \;\n\n\nHow to join:\ n\n Join this class from your Web browser: https://zoom.us/j/91019857324\ , passcode 227385\n Join this class using the Zoom app: Meeting ID: 910 1 985 7324\n Join this class by phone: 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\, Meeting ID: 910 1985 7324\n Join this class by on-tap on mobile phones: +1669900 9128\,\,91019857324# US (San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but not in the bay area ?  Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abL8clvIYT\n\nThis is the Z oom link for Saturdays.

That proved misleading--for one thing\, more ofte n than not our sources are secular--but it's worth describing the qualitie s of a sacred 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 imp ortance to us\n feel more connected to other beings or to the universe\n feel more intensely alive\n align our lives with our values\,\n perceiv e 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:20260308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
