The sessions are on Saturday s\, 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\n\nThe reading for this session : Wednesday\, September 9th\n\nTyger Tyger\, burning bright\, \nIn the fo rests of the night\; \nWhat immortal hand or eye\, \nCould frame thy fearf ul symmetry?\n\nIn what distant deeps or skies. \nBurnt the fire of thine eyes?\nOn what wings dare he aspire?\nWhat the hand\, dare seize the fire? \n\nAnd what shoulder\, &\; what art\,\nCould twist the sinews of thy h eart?\nAnd when thy heart began to beat.\nWhat dread hand? &\; what dre ad feet?\n\nWhat the hammer? what the chain\,\nIn what furnace was thy bra in?\nWhat the anvil? what dread grasp.\nDare its deadly terrors clasp?\n\n When the stars threw down their spears \nAnd water'd heaven with their tea rs:\nDid he smile his work to see?\nDid he who made the Lamb make thee?\n\ nTyger Tyger burning bright\,\nIn the forests of the night:\nWhat immortal hand or eye\,\nDare frame thy fearful symmetry?\n\n—The Tyger By Willia m Blake\n\n\nThe participants over the years have found that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, affectionate community of inquirers in whic h we read and converse\, are as important as the reading itself. While man y 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 frequen tly 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 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 try that role.\n\n\nHow to join: \n\n\n\n Join this class from your Web browser: https://zoom.us/j/9686580 8923\, passcode 227385\n Join this class using the Zoom app: Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by phone: 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) Meet ing ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by one-tap on mobile phones: 6699 006833\,\,96865808923#  (San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but not in the Bay Are a?  Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abL8clvIYT\n\nThis is the Z oom link for Wednesdays.

That proved misleading--for one thing\, more oft en than not our sources are secular--but it's worth describing the qualiti es of a sacred text\, which we still look for in the readings we choose. I t is any reading that helps us to:\n\n connect to something of supreme im portance 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 percei ve 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
