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 once in a while.\n\nThe participants over the years have found that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, aff ectionate community of inquirers in which we read and converse\, are as im portant 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 conversation. 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 a mong friends.\n\n\n\nFacilitators use a light hand\, posting the reading i n the chat and calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readi ngs* come from group members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want to try that role.\n\nThe reading for this session: Saturday\, March 7 \, 2026\nHome is where one starts from. As we grow older\nThe world become s stranger\, the pattern more complicated\nOf dead and living. Not the int ense moment\nIsolated\, with no before and after\,\nBut a lifetime burning in every moment\nAnd not the lifetime of one man only\nBut of old stones that cannot be deciphered.\nThere is a time for the evening under starligh t\,\nA time for the evening under lamplight\n(The evening with the photogr aph album).\nLove is most nearly itself\nWhen here and now cease to matter .\nOld men ought to be explorers\nHere or there does not matter\nWe must b e still and still moving\nInto another intensity\nFor a further union\, a deeper communion\nThrough the dark cold and the empty desolation\,\nThe wa ve cry\, the wind cry\, the vast waters\nOf the petrel and the porpoise. I n my end is my beginning.\n--from TS Eliot\, Four Quartets\, "East Coker"\ n\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 cla ss using the Zoom app: Meeting ID: 910 1985 7324\n Join this class by pho ne: 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\, Meeting ID: 910 1985 7324\n Join this cl ass by on-tap on mobile phones: +16699009128\,\,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 Zoom link for Saturdays.

That prov ed misleading--for one thing\, more often than not our sources are secular --but it's worth describing the qualities of a sacred text\, which we stil l 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 connect ed to other beings or to the universe\n feel more intensely alive\n alig n our lives with our values\,\n perceive or feel more deeply\n be more f ully 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:STANDARD DTSTART:20251102T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0700 TZOFFSETTO:-0800 TZNAME:PST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
