What We Need Is Here “The Wild Geese” Horseback on Sunday morning, harvest over, we taste persimmon and wild grape, sharp sweet of summer's end. In time's maze over fall fields, we name names that went west from here, names that rest on graves. We open a persimmon seed to find the tree that stands in promise, pale, in the seed's marrow. Geese appear high over us, pass, and the sky closes. Abandon, as in love or sleep, holds them to their way, clear in the ancient faith: what we need is here. And we pray, not for new earth or heaven, but to be quiet in heart, and in eye, clear. What we need is here. —Wendell Berry

Star Gazing May 18, 2020 @ 2:16 pmAs Venus leaves our evening sky you can see it’s phases even with a very modest optical aid I used my 5×10 Zeiss miniquick monocular a few nights back although some claim to have seen the phases of Venus with the naked eye.

Pantheist Vision December 5, 2018 @ 5:27 pmWhy We Incorporated as a Church
by Harold Wood
Pantheist discussion boards on the Internet these days are rife with debates about whether Pantheism can be considered a “religion” or just a “philosophy,” with vigorous arguments by both proponents and opponents.
Observing these debates, I often find that opponents to the idea that Panthei…[Read more] -

United Writers February 8, 2018 @ 1:49 pmThe all loving eye of wholesome emptiness, is surrounded by the fullness in the matter of all that suffers.
Love is the gift of suffering, and suffering is the birthright of a question.
Something is the balance of nothing, and nothing creates the open-ness for all to exist.
Suffering ceases to exist, when nothing is being questioned.

Scientific Pantheism February 6, 2018 @ 8:33 amI made this video to raise the question of how we approach the idea of divinity. Alan Watts makes an interesting statement on “god.” As Scientific Pantheists, we tend to approach this idea metaphorically. What is your approach to “everything is divine?”

Great video Connie. I like to avoid calling it literal or metaphorical, because I think when we’re talking about transcendental ideas we’re being as literal as we can be with the limits of immanent language. For instance, when we say something like “red is hot” and “blue is cool”, we’re not literally saying color feels a certain temperature, but…[Read more]
