Sometimes we respond to the challenge of a new way of doing things with unconscious assumptions about how we are already acting in the world. How can the conversations about automobiles, marijuana, and other issues help us be more curious and imaginative?

Every yarn is different. Cotton, wool, acrylic, silk all feel different as you knit or weave or crochet and each creates a different fabric with unique qualities. Our relationships, too, ask us to be attentive and intentional in unique ways with each individual and situation. Join us as we explore the fabric of relationship.

The concept of equity is as crucial today to our American society, to the world, and to our future, as it ever has been. But what is equity? Why is equity so critical to both our future as a nation, and as a species? What risks does continued inequity in economics, education and other important areas pose to our future? What are the unimaginable results of a world in which equity is valued and practiced? What are we, as moral, ethical people, called to do in humanity’s maturation toward greater global equity?

The connotation of the very word “reality" can turn us away. But, in all religions and prophetic thought, reality is a window into an emotional state of inner peace. Christians call it heaven. Buddhists call it nirvana. Reality is truth, and the truth does indeed set us free. And this freedom is available even in the most horrific of times.
