I was relatively new to religious education, so I thought it best to attend as many how-to sessions as I could. After all, I wanted to be good at this! One of the sessions I wanted was full however, so I needed an Option B. I wandered into a room filled with people listening to a man tell them that success wasn t what they thought it was, wasn t the achievement they thought it was, wasn t the meaning of life they thought it was. He told them teachers, mind you that what they needed to do most was Pause. Listening to Terry Hershey became a habit I never want to break. I ve missed a few Congresses over the last 25 years, but through his weekly blog, Sabbath Moment, I ve been blessed with the gift of his wisdom and insight and reminders to Pause, to create my own Sanctuary, and know intimately the Presence of God. At long last, we are blessed to welcome Terry to St. Thomas the Apostle! To get to know him a little before he arrives, here is an excerpt taken from his website, To be human is to be present, to pay attention to the life you have right now, to experience the sacred, the wonder and the delight within this present moment. I used to ask of myself and others: what have you accomplished? Where are your credentials? What does your job and your bank account say about who you are? Now, my questions are different: Are there butterflies in your garden? What are the color of loved ones eyes, when they are looking at you with hope? When was the last time your house smelled of paper-white narcissus? Do sunsets make you smile? Does the laughter of children do your heart good? Do I understand that life is full of complications, obligations and distractions? Yes. I do. I understand life with a teenage son. I run three businesses. So, yes, I know a bit about down-to-earth realities. But this, too, is reality: I love to watch the hummingbirds dance I love to stretch out on a garden bench on a warm summer day I love books, delight in poetry, and find sustenance in writing I treasure the certainty that grace gives us all many second chances I value the times I can simplify life by letting go of my need to validate my humanity through productivity And I love to lose track of time in a garden. I also know that sharing this with you offering my practices for pausing, resources for doing less and living more feeds me. So, I invite you, too, to join us and together we ll share, remind, and support each other, To Rest. To Renew. To Live. The details of Terry s visit are elsewhere in the bulletin. Spread the word, bring friends and neighbors. All are welcome! And if you discover that as much as you d love to, you re just too busy reread the above. You can t afford not to come!
