Wanted: Irregular meetings

Some meetings need to be irregular. If we are trying to build membership in a skill group—say Toastmasters or dancing—or we assemble to see if there is any business to conduct—say a committee—then regularity is a plus. At least we have fewer excuses for missing. But if we want to foster action, then an event is called for.

What doctrines do I believe?

Anymore, I don’t know what doctrine I believe. Which probably means I don’t believe doctrine. I believe whatever I believe and disbelieve is, with the underlying reality I sometimes call G*d, consonant. Not led by. More flowing as the stream of music in which I bob and thrash and beat and bleat. Yet this stream is conscious, purposeful, and loving all as one action.

Welcoming and kicking

We need both by turns—to be welcoming of others and to kick us out of the old satiety and into a new world order. & maybe it is not only by turns but also at once—welcoming our reluctance to leave the familiar, welcoming the fear of our ability—& responsibility—for our world. We can welcome groans and hope.
