(support available before sangha starts)
Dear Friends,
This Monday, July 4, Annie and Allyne will co-lead sangha and we will enjoy a celebration of Inter-dependence Day!
"Beloved community is formed not by the eradication of difference but by its affirmation, by each of us claiming the identities and cultural legacies that shape who we are and how we live in the world." -- bell hooks, Killing Rage: Ending Racism.
To celebrate our Inter-dependence Day, we will enjoy watching a clip from this video of Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay) about living happily in the present moment and choosing happiness instead of simply survival.
As Thay says in the video: “What’s the use of having 100 years to live if you are not capable of drinking this cup of tea in peace?”
Please bring some tea or another drink to sangha, and we will enjoy tea meditation-- drinking together with happiness.
After that, we will have time to share about how we practice living happily in the present moment, regardless of how much time we have left to live, or whatever is in our hearts. If you want to bring a poem or song to share, that would also be welcomed.
