Sunday morning, Rev. Nancy TannerThies continued exploring our monthly theme of "Deep Listening." Many of the evils of our world arise from "agreed-upon delusions" that we go along with quietly and thoughtlessly. The answer is not to try to be islands unto ourselves -- "reality" is always a collective endeavor. Instead, Rev. Nancy suggested deep listening as the path from "collective delusion" to "collective knowing." Deep listening starts with listening to ourselves and taking the risk of making ourselves heard. When we don't listen to ourselves, we can be too reactive and defensive to listen to others. But when we do our internal listening work, we can listen to others deeply, with compassionate curiosity. We can move beyond the need to be right and into the embrace of learning new truths together.

Community Events this week:
Monday, October 19th, at 7 pm in their East Art Gallery, Missouri River Regional Library presents an installment of the LU-MRRL Lecture Series: "Mechanization and the Village Rice Farmer in Vietnam: A photojournalism journey" with Will Sites, Department of Humanities and Communications, Lincoln University. Registration and masks required. Will Sites spent three weeks covering the summer rice harvest in a small Vietnamese rice-farming village. The rapid rise of rice-farming mechanization—coupled with the massive influx of high-paying factory jobs—is eroding the culturally important role of the village rice farmer. Rice farming is typically performed on small family-owned paddy fields dotting the landscape of rural Vietnam from the Mekong Delta in the south to the Red River in the north. Modern farm machinery is replacing the need for labor at the same time new industrial complexes are hiring thousands of young workers looking for a more comfortable and profitable future beyond the fields. The result may be catastrophic to an ancient way of life. Sites will discuss what he saw, what he was told, and how the future will likely unfold. Contact Madeline Matson. For more on Library events, visit MRRL.org.
This Wednesday, October 21st is the last day to request an absentee or mail-in ballot for the upcoming election in Missouri. More information at: https://www.mo.gov/government/election-and-voting/
This Thursday, October 22nd at 7 pm, MRRL presents a program via Zoom: "The 'True' Facts about Helen Stephens: Liar and Thief" with Sharon Kinney Hanson, biographer. Helen Stephens, one of America’s premier athletes, set records and made Missouri and America proud at the 1936 Olympics and in athletic events throughout her long and storied career. Sharon Kinney Hanson spent several years interviewing Stephens, her colleagues, coach, friends and family members, and had access to Stephens’ letters and diaries, which culminated in the authorized biography The Life of Helen Stephens: The Fulton Flash. Stephens enjoyed acclaim as the first owner and manager of a basketball team, and as a coach, mentor and role model to many female athletes. Her life was not without controversy and drama, including gender challenges, which Hanson will address in her program. Stephens is one of the three main characters in Fast Girls, the 2020 Capital READ. Contact Madeline Matson. For more on Library events, visit MRRL.org.
Our neighbors at Vipassana Buddhist Church / Center for Buddhist Development are holding online services via Zoom at 10 am on Sundays, as well as meditation nights via Zoom at 7 pm on Thursdays. For more information, contact [email protected].
