To reserve a time please email sangha@salidasangha.org September 12-13, 2020 Virtual Retreat With Brian Lesage "MOVING INTO BEING MOVED" Live via Zoom We are born with the capacity for an embodied compassion. This capacity can be nurtured so that it blossoms both in our formal meditation and in our day-to-day lives and we can cultivate a capacity for compassion that is neither disconnected nor overwhelming. In this weekend retreat, we will be exploring the conditions that support the unfolding of compassion in a step-by-step manner. This will be a mostly silent retreat with guided meditations and time for questions and response each day. There are still a few spaces available for the retreat. If you have questions, please call Roberta Smith at 719-221-1853. For more information and to register please visit: https://salidasangha.eventsmart.com/?p=28 Note: There will not be a Zoom sit on Sunday, September 13th because of the retreat. Outdoor Meditation August 30th We had a good turnout for meditation by the river last Sunday. It was great to see our friends, even if they were all masked and distanced! Thank you Cindy Sasso for leading us so nicely. Poem Now you know the worst-Wendell Berry To my granddaughters who visited the Holocaust Museum on the day of the burial of Yitzhak Rabin Now you know the worst we humans have to know about ourselves, and I am sorry, for I know that you will be afraid. To those of our bodies given without pity to be burned, I know there is no answer but loving one another, even our enemies, and this is hard. But remember: when a man of war becomes a man of peace, he gives a light, divine though it is also human. When a man of peace is killed by a man of war, he gives a light. You do not have to walk in darkness. If you will have the courage for love, you may walk in light. It will be the light of those who have suffered for peace. It will be your light. May we all have the courage for love and may we walk in the light, Your Salida Sangha board
