Namaste and welcome.

A friend of mine who is a Unitary Minister described an interfaith dialogue and it opened

with an inquiry which is really what show we call the divine.

Let me show you, as we are speaking, we call the divine God and right away a female

wickens said no way, no way, how about goddess and ha, remarked a Baptist minister, spirit.

No atheists didn't like that one.

So they went back and forth for a while.

They, a Native American, suggested that it be called the great mystery and they all agreed.

And I think of that often and I guess I'm curious, for you all, how many resonate with

the word mystery for that kind of sense of the sacred, good numbers?

In and away, whenever we slow down enough to face that we really don't know what's

going on in this universe, I mean really what is love or what are black holes?

I mean really are the, just the mystery of these new spring leaves around us or when

someone's died that sense of that vacancy, you know, as soon as we get to the edge of

our knowledge, it really is a mystery.

And it's also the domain when we get to that edge, whether it's birth, their death,

their, the magic of nature.

There's a place of wonder and of a kind of communion that we can't describe in words,

it's beyond thoughts.
