Relativity is Now 
 by  Gregg Erlandson
 

Space without time is never relative.

Space needs time

to transform the realities

of "what is" and "what is not"

into relativity.  

 

Only in the present moment of now,

does relativity

of the (Space-time) continuum

exist.

 

The past and future

are only the manifested effects

of least resistance.

 

From causes created through

our collective thoughts and actions

now

in this present moment.

a notice from Janet Bergman
   

An effort to expand and enrich our prayer ministry is being launched....now.

 
All who come to Spirit United are invited to use this service.  Our guidance comes from Healing Presence and Spirit United's Guiding Principles.
 

 We now have a prayer box (prototype) for individuals to write their requests for prayer.  Requests received will be honored for a month of weekly prayers. The box and the request forms have been placed on the table by the meditation room in order to make it easily accessible to everyone. 

 

You may indicate your desire to have your request published in the e-newsletter.  The newsletter reaches hundreds of persons who may join in this service in their homes.  Another option is to request a member of Spirit Vine contact you if it is your desire to talk with someone.
 

 This is a new, evolving service inspired by and in memory of Marilyn Sholl, Gordy Chatterton, and Kathleen O'Donovan.  Their influences live on in our hearts.

     
Commit to Community.  The library is in need.
