“Holding Still”
“Anyone who’s changed a baby’s diaper or towel-dried a wet dog or received a vaccination knows how important “Holding Still” can be! This is true of the spiritual life as well, and that’s what I want to talk with you about.”
Chris Glaser has enjoyed his silence since ending his blog, “Progressive Christian Meditations.” With so many voices, so much tumult, and such stress in the world today, silence refreshes us, offering mindfulness of what is truly vital, as in “life-giving.” Join Chris in this new life and rebirth meditation as we listen for what truly renews us.
It’s always a good time to be a Unitarian and to be a Universalist, as it helps us view everyone in the same light. But with the “existential threats” to our democracy, to our health, and to our planet, we need all the more to value the moment we have to live, to love, to participate in our community, and to preserve this beautiful earth and all who live on it.
After publishing a dozen books, serving a series of progressive parishes, and ten years writing a blog called ‘Progressive Christian Reflections,” Rev. Chris Glaser retired recently to embrace a kind of spiritual silence. http://chrisglaser.com; http://chrisglaser.blogspot.com
