Our Music & Arts series continues with an evening of spiritual poetry. Poetry is one of the most powerful tools we have for articulating the joys, mysteries, difficulties, and meaning of spirituality and the inner life. Join us at 7 pm on Thursday, February 28 in the sanctuary for our annual candlelit reading of contemplative poems from around the world. This year’s event will focus on poetry with an ecological message about protecting the environment and humankind’s spiritual relationship with nature. In the face of climate change and other environmental catastrophes, poetry can be a vehicle for opening our hearts to finding balance in our interrelationship with the planet. Poets will include Mary Oliver, Nanao Sakaki, Gary Snyder, Wendell Berry, and many more. In addition to poetry, the event will include music, periods of silence, and the ringing of bells.
