Gd is Simple

They say we cannot see the divine

Hidden beyond humanity’s grasp,

As our understanding is weak

And our imaginations shallow

 

But in your face I see Gd;

The brilliance of creation,

The joy of life

 

In your embrace I feel Gd’s love;

The comfort of security,

The peace of belonging

 

Gd is not hidden

Nor clouded in mystery.

Gd is the connection between

Where we meet with each other.

 

Gd is visible at every moment

In the wonder of nature,

The magic of the seasons,

And our dependence upon the earth.

 

Understanding Gd is as simple

As opening one’s eyes

And in loving another.

Learning to Say "We": Writing Identity

In this immersion, we will reflect and expand on our personal experiences of identity, using writing exercises and in-depth discussions to think about, challenge, discover, explore, and experiment with different ways to identify ourselves, to consider how those ways connect us to and separate us from others, and how they represent and misrepresent aspects of who we are.

Four sessions, starting June 15th
