Buddha taught that the greatest of “sins“ was to weaken the Sangha, to create disharmony in the Sangha. . Yet to keep a community together, as we all have experienced, takes a great deal of commitment to put community over yourself, to be committed to work towards harmony, not just in our music, but in our relationships.🙏
This is the most hopeful thing I've read in ages. A friend forwarded your beuatiful column to me. I instantly subscribed and signed up for the Singing Resistance Training. Thank you for all you're doing. It's helping!!
I have been off the grid for a couple of weeks and this really speaks to me. I think you are right that we are seeing the birth of a new type of community --- my biggest fear is our inability to maintain attention. What the administration has become adept at, is creating new chaos to take our attention away from the previous chaos. It is a spiral that seems to have no end. My prayer is that we can indeed maintain our attention and build the community that so many of us dream of, a community of welcome, acceptance and peace.
Placing our prayers on East Phillips, Whittier, Cedar Riverside, Franklin Avenue, Loring Park, Near North Mniapolis by Walking Back as Bhodisatvas are want to do in order to change this soul's flatness to well roundedness, where going and coming we meet each one as divine assimilation-accommodation distinguishes us as Her Very Own. This is a recovery movement now, where soul weds soul under the mantle of Divine Mater. So be it, Soulforce Sanghification most welcome.
Rev Cameron, your post this morning really hit home for me. When the Monks from Texas started their peace walk, I thought of the prophecy from the 8th century that states:
“When the iron bird flies, when horses run on wheels, the king will come to the land of the red man”. This prophecy suggests a time when technological advancements would lead to the dispersal of the Tibetan people, akin to ants, across the globe.
These prophecies anticipate a time of reconnection and spiritual healing among diverse groups. Oh, how I hope it comes true in my lifetime. Thank you again for my morning healing!
As we turn toward Calvary and ultimately Resurrection Sunday, your post reminds us to look for resurrection in the community, that the ultimate Resurrection made possible. Ironically I have been talking to my congregation about a return to “community”. Community suffers the cross and refuses to stay dead, day after day
Oh yes, 'Lately, it feels like a description of what is already happening.' May it be so! And it is so powerful that OK Senate Bill 1554 is trying to prevent that from happening.
“Spirit take us home
take us home by another way
take us long way ‘round the tyrants
and their schemes,
Give us strength to walk
show us dreams of a better day
and we’ll pave the way with justice
going home by another way”
❤️🙏❤️

Harmonic singing,
holey holy hands helping.
Hive power buzzing~
...
Collective power,
strong by bonds of purpose shared.
Synched murmurations~
...
Liberation leads,
dominance dance not needed.
We save each other.
“We save each other.”
Beautiful. Thank you.
🙏🏻
Loved the reflective words on Resurrection. Resurrection is birthing....

This was an engaging and reflective read, Rev. Cameron. I enjoyed it and appreciate you posting it.
Let's start calling sabbath church Jesus Sangha. Seriously.
