Sunday, April 06, 2008. I've been thinking about modern life and how as an unintentional result of modern convenience we lose our vital connections with the earth and its cycles. I've been reading Michael Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Occasional thoughts about a distinctly Unitarian spirituality and the intersections of that spirituality with endeavors personal, social, and political. Spiritual Websites of Interest to Atlanta Unitarian. Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Atlanta Unitarian: October 2009

http://atlantaunitarian.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, October 06, 2009. The Virtues of Being The Worst. I've recently joined a few new activities where I was clearly and markedly the worst by a large margin. The first is I've joined the "back-up" choir at my UU. The second is I went out for some pick-up Ultimate Frisbee. In both cases, there was a sense of anxiety that I might be (OK, was) dragging down the group.

Friday, August 28, 2015. The Need to Say No. To set aside the expectations of others and the roles we have assumed and shout out the contrary, more direct and more honest truth we harbor within. I think we all have a hunger for unrefined truths, especially when they have been long suppressed. Sunday, August 09, 2015.

Sunday, April 30, 2006. Salt of the Earth. On our travels from Pondicherry back to Chennai we stopped to explore a solar evaporation salt operation. For us, the image of salt is so tightly linked to the cute little Morton girl walking in a light rain with an umbrella it was just mind boggling to traipse about a real salt marsh in a blazing Indian sun.
