Subject: [UUCP] AN EXCELLENT ARTICLE!!
Message-ID: <CAKAyEe3x4LzHLiT6RZr+zTnc6eeNtrgMo8F4kjNeNAqB+=YYUQ@mail.gmail.com>

*Hi everyone,This is an article written by one of my favorite liberal
Christian authors Anne Lamott. I've spoken about this subject of prayer
recently and in the past. Anne Lamott speaks my mind on the subject of
prayer, god, Jesus, faith, and so many other things. She may say it in
different ways than I do, use different words, but still, she is a kindred
spirit. Definitely worth your time to read.Peace,Rev. Paul*
***************************************
NYT OP-ED
I Don?t Want to See a High School Football Coach Praying at the 50-Yard Line
by Anne Lamott
Many of us who believe in a reality beyond the visible realms, who believe
in a soul that survives death, and who are hoping for seats in heaven near
the dessert table, also recoil from the image of a high school football
coach praying at the 50-yard line.
It offends me to see sanctimonious public prayer in any circumstance ? but
a coach holding his players hostage while an audience watches his piety
makes my skin crawl.
We are fighting furiously for women?s rights and the planet, and we mean
business. We believers march, rally and agitate, putting feet to our
prayers. And in our private lives, we pray.
Isn?t praying a bit Teletubbies as we face off with the urgent darkness?
Nah.
Prayer means talking to God, or to the great universal spirit, a.k.a. Gus,
or to Not Me. Prayer connects us umbilically to a spirit both outside and
within us, who hears and answers. Is it like the comedian Flip Wilson
saying, ?I?m gonna pray now; anyone want anything??
Kind of.
I do not understand much about string theory, but I do know we are
vibrations, all the time. Between the tiny strings is space in which change
can happen. The strings are infinitesimal; the space between nearly
limitless. Prayer says to that space, I am tiny, helpless, needy, worried,
but there?s nothing I can do except send my love into that which is so much
bigger than me.
How do people like me who believe entirely in science and reason also
believe that prayer can heal and restore? Well, I?ve seen it happen a
thousand times in my own inconsequential life. God seems like a total
showoff to me, if perhaps unnecessarily cryptic.
When I pray for all the places where we see Christ crucified ? Ukraine,
India, the refugee camps ? I see in my heart and in the newspaper that
goodness draws near, through UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders, volunteers,
through motley old us.
I wake up praying. I say a prayer some sober people told me to pray 36
years ago, because when all else fails, follow instructions. It helps me to
not fixate on who I am, but on whose. I am God?s adorable, aging,
self-centered, spaced-out beloved. One man in early sobriety told me that
he had come into recovery as a hotshot but that other sober men helped him
work his way up to servant. I pray to be a good servant because I?ve
learned that this is the path of happiness. I pray for my family and all my
sick friends that they have days of grace and healing, and I end my
prayers, ?Make me ever mindful of the needs of the poor.?
Then I put on my glasses, let the dog out to pee and start my day. I will
have horrible thoughts about others, typically the Christian right or the
Supreme Court, or someone who has seriously crossed me, whose hair I pray
falls out or whose book fails. I say to God, as I do every Sunday in
confession: ?Look ? I think we can both see what we have on our hands here.
Help me not be such a pill.?
It is miserable to be a hater. I pray to be more like Jesus with his crazy
compassion and reckless love. Some days go better than others. I pray to
remember that God loves Marjorie Taylor Greene exactly the same as God
loves my grandson, because God loves, period. God does not have an app for
Not Love. God sees beyond each person?s awfulness to each person?s needs.
God loves them, as is. God is better at this than I am.
I lift up one of my grown Sunday school kids who is in the I.C.U. with
anorexia. I beseech God to intervene, and she does, through finding my girl
a great nurse later that day. (Nurses are God?s answer 35 percent of the
time). My prayer says to whoever might be listening, ?I care about her and
have no idea what to do, but to hold her in my heart and turn her over to
something that might do better than me.? And I hear what to do next ? make
her one of my world-famous care packages ? overpriced socks, a journal, and
needless to say, communion elements tailored to her: almonds and sugar-free
gum. It?s love inside wrapping paper.
Especially when I travel, I talk to so many people who are absolutely
undone by all the miseries of the world, and I can?t do anything for them
but listen, commiserate and offer to pray. I can?t turn politics around, or
war, or the climate, but in listening, by opening my heart to someone in
trouble, I create with them more love, less of a grippy clench in our
little corner of the universe.
When I get onstage for a talk or an interview, I pray to say words that
will help the people in the audience who feel most defeated. When I got to
interview Hillary Clinton in Seattle a few years ago, we prayed this prayer
huddled in a corner backstage ? to bring hope to the hopeless.
Do I honestly think these kinds of prayers were heard, and helpful?
Definitely.
On good days, I feel (slightly) more neutral toward Ginni Thomas and the
high school coach praying after games. I pray the great prayer of ?Thanks?
all day, for my glorious messy family, husband and life; for my faith, my
sobriety; for nature; for all that is still here and still works after so
much has been taken from us.
When I am at my most rattled or in victimized self-righteousness, I go for
walks, another way to put my feet to prayer. I pray for help, and in some
dimension outside of my mind or language, I relax. I can breathe again. I
say, ?Thank you.? I say, ?Thank you for the same flowers and trees and
ferns and cactuses I pass every day.? I say, ?Thank you, thank you, thank
you.
A walk is a great prayer. To make eye contact and smile is a kind of
prayer, and it changes you. Fields and woods are the kingdom. You don?t
say, ?Oh, there?s a dark-eyed junco flitting around that same old pine
tree; whatever,? or: ?Look at those purple wildflowers. I?ve seen those a
dozen times.? You are silent. There may be no one around you and the forest
will speak to you in the way it will speak to an animal. And that changes
you.
At bedtime I pray again for my sick friends, and the refugees. I beg for
sleep. I give thanks for the blessings of the day. I rest into the vision
of the pearly moon outside my window that looks like a porthole to a bigger
reality, sigh and close my tired eyes.
I have the theological understanding of a bright 8-year-old, but Jesus says
we need to approach life like children, not like cranky know-it-alls,
crazily busy, clutching our to-do lists. One of my daily prayers is, ?Slow
me down, Girlfriend.? The prayer changes me. It breaks the toxic trance.
God says to Moses the first time they meet, ?Take off your shoes.? Be on
the earth. Breathe with me a moment.

Message-ID: <CAKAyEe0Xm8NBkkW-ggTVbiCvwZ1DwyU7_+CJs8tBUnYUkH72NA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone,
Well, it?s been two weeks and I?m still not used to not having to write a
sermon or choose music for our Sunday services! I suppose, like many people
who retire, that will happen over time, but truthfully, I hope it doesn?t.
Writing and speaking, especially about spirituality and our shared UU
liberal tradition is what I think I enjoy most and what I think (or hope) I
do best. So, I?m going to continue writing and look forward at times to
sharing some of it with all of you.

I also wanted to say thank you for the very generous gift you gave me on my
last day. Your kindness is greatly appreciated and I can assure you it has
been put to very good use.
But more than that, the gift of friendship, trust, and love, and the honor
of being your minister for ten years are the gifts that I most appreciate
and which are the most enduring. Lisa and I are, and will always be
grateful, to be a part of the UUCP family.

Looking forward to seeing you in the not too distant future!

Peace and Light,
Paul

Message-ID: <CAKAyEe37NQ_z1vrw69UXHOPx9bDR8opqNZfNrsc5_NrjVudDkw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone, Over the years, I've mentioned how moved I always have been by
the images from the Hubble Space telescope. I still am, and now, with the
first images that NASA just released from the new James Webb space
telescope, which is far more powerful than Hubble, I?m more than blown
away! We are now going to be able to see farther into deep space than we
have ever been able to do, almost to the big bang. It's beyond
comprehension. It?s more than awe-inspiring. It puts me into a place and
attitude of deep reverence and humility. I?m reminded of the words Moses
heard when he came upon the burning bush:
?Take off your sandals. You are standing on holy ground.? The only
difference is that we are peering into holy space. And we are compelled to
acknowledge our place in a multiverse far bigger and deeper than we ever
dreamed.

Subject: [UUCP] A MUST WATCH! THE GREAT MUSLIM AMERICAN ROAD TRIP
Message-ID: <CAKAyEe20hFx12LRXVzu_+7vPgWiEEZX=o7Utx19dwzuAck4u0A@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,
I can't recommend this show on PBS highly enough!
It's a three-part series about a muslim couple traveling through America on
Route 66 and exploring the history and influence of Muslims and Islam on
the history and culture of America since it's inception.
Mona Haydar is an American Muslim raised in Flint, Michigan whose parents
emigrated from Syria. Her husband Sebastian is an American who converted to
Islam. Their travels across America are both entertaining and informative
of the Muslim experience in America.
I think you'll find it to be a truly educational series!
Check it out!
Peace and LIght,
Paul

Subject: [UUCP] The power of telling our stories
Message-ID: <CAKAyEe1ZjwymY-cKbRcs7RBskKpBvhR90J2OurTm1Jtw=hC=og@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,
This is a wonderful example of the power of telling our stories by the
author Laura Lentz.
Peace and Light,
Rev. Paul
****************
I went into the kitchen and announced to my mother?s thighs that I was
Jewish. No, honey, she said. You?re Catholic and that?s why we go to a
church.

Mommy, I said, tugging on the hem of her shorts, I?m Jewish!

She sighed and knelt down to make eye contact with me. How do you even know
that word... and she peered at me with her green Catholic eyes and Jewish
nose, and her dark skin.

I told this story to a friend recently who asked if I was Jewish, but I
told them I?ve never done Ancestry or twenty three and me, but I have a
feeling I am.

She laughed and said you definitely are. Then she used some delightful
yiddish words that lit my soul, which reminded me of an 80-year old
songwriter I worked with who sang a song in yiddish in my living room as
part of his story.

I was eight when my neighbor?s husband introduced me to his friend, a rabbi
from the city. He asked me to join him under the maple tree in a rusted
lawn chair.

I gently ran my fingers over numbers on his arm. He was older than most of
the people I knew and suddenly my mother was standing next to me saying no,
she can?t hear that story. She?s too young.

My mother asked me to go stand by the white fence while she spoke to the
holy man with the long gray beard in hushed tones, shaking her head, biting
her lower lip, looking out over the tops of the trees.

In the end she told me I could hear his story, kissed me on the forehead,
and said the rabbi was like a priest.

Except he?s Jewish, she said, winking at me as she walked away.

He had a soft, deep voice, and he told me his wife and his daughters died,
they were buried in the earth next to him, but he was still alive, and
somehow escaped. I began to cry for his loss. I could taste the the grief
and the dirt on his tongue.

I never loved my family more than in that moment. I knew some day I would
lose them. That day the rabbi awakened death in me, but he also awakened
life.

He pulled me onto his lap and assured me he had another wife and a new
daughter and a son now and his heart had healed, and he was happy again.

I didn't understand then how anyone could be happy after having such a
horrible thing happen to them.

If you are still alive, he said, you must be fully alive.

And I suppose this was my very first lesson in witnessing another person?s
grief through story. I held his story as gently as I would hold a warm egg
I wanted to put back into the nest.

The rabbi had lifted me into the story that happened long before I was
born, but when I peered into his eyes I saw whole galaxies and the dark
matter that keeps those galaxies together. I saw how the past and the
future and this moment had all braided into one.

We were all tied to each other?s stories and each other?s grief, no matter
the religion or the year or the age.

I may never do Twenty Three and Me because the branches on my family tree
broke off years ago. Most days I don?t want to find the truth of my
mother?s father or her twin sister who was given away in the middle of the
night.

Other days I can hear the spirit of my mother saying, go ahead, you need to
know where you came from.

But I already know I belong to you, and you belong to me.

Since that afternoon, I have never shied away from hearing anyone?s story,
no matter how hard it is for them to tell. My mother gave me that gift so
many years ago by saying yes before she was sure if I was ready.

Listening to story can offer us a moment of deep connection and divine
grace.

It?s the only way forward in this messy world.
