This Sunday, our own Rev. Nancy TannerThies joined us for a Zoom service exploring Bewilderment. Bewilderment is a common experience in these uncommon times, indeed a universal experience in any time, though we may try to keep it hidden. As we approach bewilderment, Rev. Nancy suggested that we first acknowledge our confusion, then allow ourselves time to wander around and around. We feel that a stable center is there, but we can't see it, and Rev. Nancy asked that we resist the urge to hurry and leap for it, that we pay attention to what we are tempted to kick aside in our rush toward solid ground. If we stay present in the moment and take in more of our changing reality rather than try to escape it, the center will reveal itself in its own time.
As the poet Rumi wrote:
"Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment;
Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment intuition."
Next Sunday, August 23rd:
