Dear Beloveds, Our theme for July “Whole No Matter What”, is working me and I am grateful for the many tools and the perfect timing of it. As is often the case, it begins with a rising awareness of where I experience suffering: beloveds who are no longer here, conflict that jolts me awake, my tendency to overwork, and moments when I demand too much of myself or others. I wonder what your version of this looks like, and if you can relate. And smack in the middle of all of it arrives a whisper, faint, but unmistakable and clear: stop, breathe, listen, trust, move, I am here. That inner voice, the quiet internal lifeline beckons us back to center. Join us as we listen together. Tonight, in our Taizé experience intended to soften the edges and Sunday morning, when we bravely explore our own experience of wholeness and declare, with courage and tenderness, “no bad parts.” Much Love, Rev. Karin
