    Being Present to Awe

    Stillness. Quiet. The presence of winter. Twinkle Lights. Glittery snow. Crisp starry nights. The gifts of the natural world surround us.

    The Audacity to Imagine Sisyphus Happy

    In his essay on Sisyphus, Albert Camus ends with these haunting words: “one must imagine Sisyphus happy.” Camus invites us to wrestle with the appropriate response to absurdity. Is it suicide? That is to say, is the killing of oneself in light of the human condition, the existential angst and ontological trauma we face, a proper resolution to our dilemma? Is there something—despite the absurdity involved—that humans may grab hold of and anchor themselves to, as that which constitutes the reason life should continue? Camus answers, “yes.” While some wallow in nihilistic thought and tendencies, Camus—without God—pushes for something more. He sees in the struggle(s) against nihilism, against injustice, and so on, the stuff of a worthy existence—the purpose of a life without certainties. With guest speaker Rev. Dr. Andrea Johnson Rev. Dr. Andrea Johnson is a community minister affiliated with First Universalist Church in Minneapolis. She recently completed her Doctor of Ministry in public theology at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities. The title of her dissertation is: Human Liberation, Sacred Nature, and the Inescapable Network of Mutuality: Theologically Grounding Unitarian Universalism’s Quest to Dismantle White Supremacy.

    In the Presence of a New Way of Being

    Call it mindfulness, call it intentionality, call it witness...there is a way of being in relationship whereby we fully show up for one another. How might we offer our simple presence as a gift to the world?

    In the Presence of All That Is

    "All That Is" is a lot of stuff, and between this time of year and this time in our world, there is so much that demands our presence. What would it mean to call ourselves into the presence of all of this? Or, maybe the call is asking us to get in touch with what it is that matters.

    Making Amends

    Ours is an unapologetic world. Seldom does anyone take responsibility for damage done. While we might not like the words, let's look at how remorse and repentance can play a role in our personal and societal transformation.

    Listening to the Land

    Those of us who come from immigrant histories cannot claim being indigenous to this land. But we can become naturalized to it. Robin Wall Kimmerer says that "Being naturalized to place means to live as if this is the land that feeds you, as if these are the streams from which you drink, that build your body and fill your spirit." Let's explore this as we honor Indigenous Peoples' Day.
