The sessions are on Sat urdays\, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays\, 12-1. All are wide open and you are wel come 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\, affecti onate community of inquirers in which we read and converse\, are as import ant 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 othe r 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 th e 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\nThe reading for this session: Wednesday\, January 2 8th\n\nFor I have learned\nTo look on nature\, not as in the hour\nOf thou ghtless youth\, but hearing oftentimes\nThe still\, sad music of humanity\ ,\nNot harsh nor grating\, though of ample power\nTo chasten and subdue. A nd I have felt\nA presence that disturbs me with the joy\nOf elevated thou ghts\; a sense sublime\nOf something far more deeply interfused\,\nWhose d welling is the light of setting suns\,\nAnd the round ocean\, and the livi ng air\,\nAnd the blue sky\, and in the mind of man\,\nA motion and a spir it\, that impels\nAll thinking things\, all objects of all thought\,\nAnd rolls through all things. Therefore am I still\nA lover of the meadows and the woods\,\nAnd mountains\; and of all that we behold\nFrom this green e arth\; of all the mighty world\nOf eye and ear\, both what they half-creat e\,\nAnd what perceive\; well pleased to recognize\nIn nature and the lang uage of the sense\,\nThe anchor of my purest thoughts\, the nurse\,\nThe g uide\, the guardian of my heart\, and soul\nOf all my moral being.\n—Wil liam Wordsworth from Lines Written a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey\n\n\n&n bsp\;\n\nHow to join:\n\n\n\n Join this class from your Web browser: http s://zoom.us/j/96865808923\, passcode 227385\n Join this class using the Z oom app: Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by phone: 669 900 68 33 US (San Jose) Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by one-tap o n mobile phones: 6699006833\,\,96865808923#  (San Jose)\n Phoning in\, b ut not in the Bay Area?  Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abL8cl vIYT\n\nThis is the Zoom link for Wednesdays.

That proved misleading--for one thing\, more often than not our sources are secular--but it's worth d escribing 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 connect to so mething 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 o ur values\,\n perceive or feel more deeply\n be more fully and authentic ally 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
