What’s Happening – January 31, 2021

Guest Speaker: Rev. Alison Cornish

Remembering the Past to Imagine Our Future

If we begin imagining with our hearts, and work from a place of yearning as well as thinking, then we develop an unprecedented effectiveness that is beyond our normal ways of understanding because it doesn’t have to do with thinking. When we bring the fullness of our humanity to our leadership, we can be far more effective in creating the future we want.’

Centering Question(s)

The Dream Keeper

Langston Hughes

Bring me all of your dreams,
You dreamers,
Bring me all of your
Heart melodies
That I may wrap them
In a blue cloud-cloth
Away from the too-rough fingers
Of the world.

What dream, what heart melodies, do you have that must be protected from the ‘too-rough fingers of the world’? Of what are those too-rough fingers constituted?
