November 22, 2020 - The Seeds We Are Planting - Rev. Arif Mamdani

From Rev. Arif: These last many weeks, I’ve been returning to the notion of the fractal nature of reality that adrienne maree brown writes about in Emergent Strategy. As she writes: “Dandelions contain an entire community in each spore that gets blown on children’s breath.” Here in the Twin Cities, the dandelions are long gone. Winter is coming. COVID rates are on the rise. Hospitals and those who staff them are at the very edge. This may well be a very hard season. And yet, I wonder in this emerging winter, what spores are we crafting that will reseed the Earth as it awakens in spring? How might we, individually and collectively share the burdens, lighten our load, and move, even just a little, toward the world we dream of? Let’s gather up on Sunday- Breathe together and share word and song as we turn our hearts toward the season ahead, grab each other’s (digital, imaginary) hands, and make our way through.   Words of Welcome, Julica Hermann de la Fuente (:28) Wisdom Story- Tigers Above, Tigers Below, Seth Anderson-Matz (3:41) Interlude - Be Here Now, David Lauth (6:30) Sermon- The Seeds We Are Planting, Ref.
