i miss Church

Ten weeks in Glacier felt like the world’s biggest Church. Nature is Church and every step we take is Church. But i miss the community at my physical Church.

i miss Church.

A lot.

All natural ingredients

A National Park, or nature in general, can be “Church”.

All natural ingredients.

  • Fresh air
  • Mountains
  • Lakes
  • Wildlife
  • Minimal human-made structures

The Church pews are rocks, logs, or the ground.

The sermon is whatever thoughts you have that aren’t easily available in “civilization”.

Suffering happens to everyone and can be minimized

Knowing we’d be at some iconic locations, i took the TEDx Talk props to lunch and the podcast location.

At Church yesterday, i can’t recall the Gospel’s main message with clarity.

It revolved around the truth that human suffering is part of our experience and the pathway (my word) to peace, contentment, and an absence of suffering (Heaven).

As we age, we can harness forgiveness, compassion, surrender, and service to others as positive, blessed energy, and activities, to channel and frame our suffering temporary.

Stuff We Do

Read so they want to watch

Kinda scary to think you should be able to convey the passion of iconic Biblical figures.

Most people are conditioned to follow along in the missal while the Lector reads.

Why?

Shouldn’t the focus be on Saint Paul or Jeremiah?

Shouldn’t the reader be speaking in a way the requires no textbook?

Why not just ask everyone to (silently) read the scripture to themselves?

Try to imagine the time, place, audience, and context in which the original person said those things.

Nature is a Church for everyone

Overnight, from sold out to lots of availability. The less-green boxes are available.

Fingers crossed for one of the August days.

Nature is a Church for everyone.

All those decades when i wasn’t sitting under a Church roof, well, i actually was, but didn’t recognize the sky as the roof.

Nature is a perfect testimony that there is something greater than our mortal understanding can fathom. The mystery of Faith summarizes our inability to understand what we cannot see.

To which i say, go outside, look (and see) and focus on the vastness of Earth’s horizon, or the complex elegance of any insect’s body.
