SUMMARY:Resonant Reading (Wednesday)- Nature of Sin-Hugo
DESCRIPTION:Resonant Reading (Wednesday)- Nature of Sin-Hugo  An exploratio
 n of ideas\, feelings\, and our life experiences\, using a different short
  reading as our springboard each time. 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\, affectionate commun
 ity of inquirers in which we read and converse\, are as important as the r
 eading itself. While many small groups begin with a check-in\, with a sess
 ion only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the conversatio
 n. 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 friends.\n\
 n\n\nFacilitators use a light hand\, posting the reading in the chat and c
 alling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings* come from g
 roup members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want to try that
  role.\n\nThe reading for this session: Wednesday\, November 14\, 2025\n\n
 \n"Man has a body that is both his burden and his temptation. He drags it 
 along and gives in to it. He ought to watch over it\, keep it in bounds\, 
 repress it\, and obey it only as a last resort. It may be wrong to obey ev
 en then\, but\, if so\, the fault is venial. It is a fall\, but a fall ont
 o the knees\, which may end in prayer. To be a saint is the exception\; to
  be upright is the rule. Err\, falther\, sin\, but be upright. To commit t
 he least possible sin is the law for man. To live entirely without sin is 
 the dream of an angel. Everything on on this earth is subject to sin. Sin 
 is like gravity."\n—Bishop Myriel of Digne in Les Miserables by Victor H

 s activity was formerly called "Sacred Text Reading." That proved misleadi
 ng--for one thing\, more often than not our sources are secular--but it's 
 worth describing the qualities of a sacred text\, which we still look for 
 in the readings we choose. It is any reading that helps us to:\n\n 	connec
 t to something of supreme importance 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 	perceive or feel more deeply\n 	be more fully and au
 thentically ourselves.\n
